Member of the jury 2020-2021.
Composer, singer and performer.
Julia Mihály operates at the intersections of new music, performance art and electroacoustic music. Standing in the tradition of technology-based performance, she uses live electronic sound synthesis processes as a means of staging. She deals with socio-political themes of current everyday and media culture and combines them aesthetically with influences from pop culture, trash and anti-art.
Julia Mihály has performed at various international festivals and concert series for new music such as Heroines of Sound Festival Berlin, Suntory Hall Tokyo, La Biennale Musica di Venezia, Ruhrtriennale, KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, Künstlerhaus Mousonturm Frankfurt, Hellerau - European Center for the Arts, SPOR Festival Arhus , Zeitkunst Festival Rio de Janeiro, Opera Festival of the Bavarian State Opera, NTU CCA Centre for Contemporary Arts Singapore, TEMPO REALE Florence.
