KARIN OHLENSCHLÄGER – LABoral director
Madrid, 1979. I began my composition studies at the Conservatory of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, to continue them later in other Spanish (LIEM/CDMC, Aula de Música de Alcalá de Henares, Gabinete de Música Electroacústica de Cuenca…) and German (Darmstadt, Kürten -with Karlheinz Stockhausen-, Technische Universität Berlin…) centres. I completed a degree in Law at the Complutense University of Madrid and a PhD in Art History and Musicology at the University of Oviedo -with a thesis on the philosophy of music entitled «La voz límite» (The limit voice). I have taught at different Spanish universities, as well as in Berlin (TU) and in the United States (NYU and Harvard).
