Since its founding in 1946 by composer Karl Amadeus Hartmann, musica viva of the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation has been one of the most internationally recognized concert series for contemporary music. Hartmann aimed to create a forum for the language of the present, which also included the design of posters and programs. For the past twenty years, Günter Karl Bose has been working for musica viva. His concert posters have significantly shaped the series' visual identity. They reflect his intense visual engagement with contemporary music. Posters serve their purpose at the moment they are displayed. They are advertisements. Here, a work has emerged that is worth a second look.
