Nikola Lutz - Composer - Saxophone 

Prof. Nikola Lutz is a composer-performer based in Stuttgart. Apart from her lively concert activities as a saxophone player, Nikola is composing electronic music and working with sonic extensions of the instrument. In sound sculptures between composed and improvised contemporary music electronic and acoustic sonorities are overlapping and newly connected to each other. She especially focuses on interdisciplinary concepts, for example in her work series „GraphicSound“, where she works with graphic scores as well as modified empty vinyls with the aim of exploring audiovisual perception and sound conception. Her works have been performed in festivals and concert series such as Eclat festival Stuttgart, K-R-A-M Stuttgart, Donaufestival Korneuburg (AU), Festival Plein les sens Mulhouse (F), Beijing Central Conservatory (China). Her music has been commissioned by SWR Stuttgart, Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kunst Baden-Württemberg, Musik der Jahrhunderte, State Theatre of Oldenburg, T-art productions and others. 2018 she premiered foco_2018, a multimedia music performance commissioned by Deutschlandradio.
