RAMON LAZKANO (Donostia-San Sebastián, 1968)  

Ramon Lazkano's music core is the instrumental and vocal composition. From 2001 to 2011 he wrote the Chalk Laboratory, a collection of chamber music echoing Jorge Oteiza's "experimental laboratory". From then on, his music, reflecting on intertextuality and acoustics, has focused on duration and on the threshold of dynamics. In 2019 the Ensemble Intercontemporain premiered his most recent large work, Ziaboga and in 2020, Die Neue Vocalsolisten premiered in Stuttgart Eine Ehrenpflicht, with Rosa Luxemburg's texts. He was awarded the Prince Pierre de Monaco Foundation Prize and the Georges Bizet Prize of the French Academy of Fine Arts and was in residence at the Royal Academy of Spain and the Academy of France in Rome
