Luna Alcalay - 80th birthday of one of Austria's leading composers:

Luna Alcalay is one of Austria's leading composers. She was born in Zagreb in 1928; she studied the piano (with Bruno Seidlhofer) and composition (with Alfred Uhl) at the Vienna Academy of Music and was granted a scholarship to Rome at the end of her studies (1958). After her return to Vienna she primarily worked as a teacher and was soon called to the University of Music and Arts in Vienna.

As a composer, Luna Alcalay very early established contacts to the international avantgarde, visited the Darmstadt holiday music courses and was stimulated in many respects by Bruno Maderna. She had early international success and has received a large number of composition prizes - Darmstadt 1963 and 1964, Gaudeamus competition 1967, Berlin 1972, International ISCM competition Italy 1973, ORF Steiermark 1973 - and "Preis der Stadt Wien" 1992. Luna Alcalay has been dealing successfully with multi-media work since 1975.

Luna Alcalay is the first woman composer to have had a documentation of her work in the Austrian National Library (September 2000). She describes her approach to music, tradition and her work methods as "nonconformist".
