Sound researcher & bridge builder
Julia Lacherstorfer discovered her love of music as a child. Growing up in the Traunviertel region in a family active in folk music, she is still inspired by the view of folk music as a living archive of human experience. Her artistic work moves between traditional folk music and contemporary composition, between improvisation and structure. She performs both solo and with ensembles such as ALMA or Ramsch & Rosen. Her concert tours take her from small village churches to large concert halls and international festivals –, always with the aim of making old soundscapes audible in a new way.

Folk music from a different perspective
With projects such as »SPINNERIN [a female narrative]«, she has done pioneering work: folk music from a female perspective. While she deliberately focussed on female narratives here, her perspective has since broadened. She is interested in »what my neighbours experience, whether they live right next door to me or many kilometres away. Whether they have their roots here in Austria or elsewhere.«

NACHBARIN [a diverse narrative]
She explores these questions in her transcultural music project »Nachbarin«. Here, Lacherstorfer translates different realities of life into music – with the help of dialogue-based interviews, composition, film and photography. »Music can build so many bridges«, says Lacherstorfer. »It can give us comfort and hold us. It can shake us awake and put its fingers in the open wounds so that we finally feel where it hurts. Whether collectively or individually. Perspectives become broader, narratives become more diverse. And then change happens.«
