Manuela Kereraus modern

Manuela Kerer (* 1980 in Brixen) is an Italian-Austrian composer of German mother tongue from South Tyrol.

Life

Kerer studied violin and composition at the Tyrolean State Conservatory. Further composition studies led her to Alessandro Solbiati in Milan. In parallel, she completed studies in law and psychology at the University of Innsbruck. After obtaining diplomas in both subjects, she earned doctorates in both with the submitted dissertations Music and Dementia and In the Name of All Artists, Art and Social Progress: The Development of the Rights of Composers, Using the Example of Selected Personalities and with Special Reference to Austria.

Her works include compositions for orchestra, such as κύκλος tίς κρίσις (2011), choral works and chamber music compositions, for example seelenblitz (2012) for string quartet or the setting of 7 laws of the Italian penal code for string sextet (SCH)LEX (2005). Another focus is on music-theatrical works and operas (Whatever works, 2015, Plenissimo, 2015), as well as compositional engagement with other genres such as dance, drama, architecture or literature. In addition, Kerer always enjoys writing for children, young people and amateurs.

Works by Manuela Kerer have been created for ensembles such as the soloist ensemble Kaleidoskop Berlin, Klangforum Wien, Ensemble die reihe, Bayerische Kammerphilharmonie, ascolta and exceptional artists such as Julius Berger (cellist), Maja Ratkje or Sarah Maria Sun. They have been performed at festivals such as the Munich Biennale for Contemporary Music Theater, Ultraschall Berlin, Wien Modern and in the concert halls of Berlin and Vienna, at Kampnagel Hamburg, at the Radialsystem Berlin, at the Accademia Filarmonica Romana, in New York, London or at Lake Titicaca.

Kerer’s works are published by Breitkopf & Härtel. They have been recorded on numerous CDs, and a portrait CD was released as part of the ORF Edition Zeitton.

In addition to her weekly column “Kerers Saite” in the South Tyrolean daily newspaper “Dolomiten,” the composer designs and hosts the radio program for contemporary music “Querschnitte” on the RAI station South Tyrol. From 2012 to 2016, Manuela Kerer was a member of the Board of Directors of the Haydn Orchestra. Manuela Kerer has two children and lives with her family in Brixen.
