Music Biennale Zagreb ((クロアチア語:Muzički biennale Zagreb), MBZ) is an international festival of contemporary music in Zagreb, Croatia, organized by the Croatian Composers' Society. The Biennale, founded by Milko Kelemen and held every spring of the odd years since 1961, has become one of the most important festivals of contemporary music in Europe. ==Repertoire and format== Throughout its history, the Biennale has given equal weight to classical 20th century repertoire and experimental music,〔 encompassing a variety of musical forms, including symphonic and chamber concerts, opera, ballet, music theatre and multimedia performances.〔 Accompanying lectures, workshops and symposiums are also gaining prominence in recent years. The Biennale has collaborated with some of the biggest international names in contemporary music, including Luciano Berio, John Cage, Peter Maxwell Davies, Mauricio Kagel, Witold Lutosławski, Bruno Maderna and Igor Stravinsky.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Music Biennale Zagreb )〕 The festival gained international prominence in the 1960s and the 1970s due in large part to an ambivalent position of Yugoslavia in the political and ideological divisions of the Cold War, making it a unique gathering place for artists from both East and West.〔 Just as its founder had hoped, it has provided a boost for Croatian composers and musicians by accelerating their integration into world trends in contemporary music, especially through co-productions and partnerships with their foreign colleagues.〔 It has also proved popular with the concert-going public, as its events are seen by almost ten thousand people, which, according to the festival's long-time director Ivo Josipović, controverts the idea of Biennale being about a "group of freaks who pour water into a piano". The festival's popularity is partly due to symbolic ticket prices: in 2011, entrance fee for most events was 20 HRK (c. €3), while the festival pass was available for 150 HRK (€20). Approximately 70% of the festival's funding is today provided by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Zagreb, while the rest comes through donations and the festival's own income. In 2005 the Biennale hosted the ISCM World Music Days.〔 It was also scheduled to host the World Music Days again in 2011, coinciding with the Biennale's 50th anniversary.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Music Biennale Zagreb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
