Nina Šenk, laureate of the Erste Bank Composition Award 2024, is considered a key representative of Slovenia's up-and-coming international music scene. In her works, the 1982 born composer expands the possibilities of different soundscapes, questions the traditional structures of sound formations and creates a variety of harmonic timbres.

Following the world premiere of her opera Canvas as part of the Johann Joseph Fux Competition for Opera Composition 2023, Klangforum Wien is now collaborating with Nina Šenk again and will premiere her award winning piece November Night (2024) at Wien Modern 2024 on 21 November 2024 as part of the Erste Bank Composition Award, which is being presented for the 35th time this year.

Conducted by Vimbayi Kaziboni, Conductor-in-Residence of Klangforum Wien, the concert will also include the national premieres of Manos Tsangaris' Das Pizzicato Mysterium (2015-2016) and Juste Janulyte's Clessidra (2023), as well as Vladimir Tarnopolski's Foucault's Pendulum (2024).
