Susanna Gartmayer

Susanna Gartmayer studied painting and printmaking at the academy of fine arts, Vienna and has been working as a bass clarinettist, composer and improviser in various fields of experimental music since the early 2000s.

She is member and founder of numerous ensembles for improvised and organized music. Her particular interest lies in the polyphonic sound possibilities of low clarinets, open forms of composition as well as theory and practice of collaborative work processes.

Since 2015, together with Thomas Berghammer and Didi Kern, she has been organizing the Monday Improvisers Session at Celeste in Vienna – a weekly musicaly multiideomatic platform for improvisers in Vienna and far beyond.
