Munich's 'musica viva' concert series, dedicated to modern and avant-garde music, was brought into being in 1945 by Munich composer Karl Amadeus Hartmann. His guiding principle was that music is above all a language of the the present. From the beginning, he placed great significance on the composition of the posters and publications that would represent 'musica viva' and recruited important visual and graphic artists to create these works. Günter Karl Bose took over the compostion of the posters and publications for Bayerischer Rundfunk's 'musica viva' in 1997. Over the past 20 years, he produced 164 posters for roughly 300 performances. -- from the Foreword.
