Applications are now open inviting mid-career composers across Europe to take part in new international residency projects with partners in the UK, Iceland and Norway.The Project:
We are seeking composers who have become established in their own region and are at a stage in their career to successfully engage in international collaborations are invited to apply for the opportunity to collaborate with a leading New Music ensemble in Iceland, Norway or the UK through a series of intensive residencies to develop new works.
Over the course of 6 months the composer will work closely with their partnering ensemble and local literary bodies (eg: writers, poets, storytellers) to develop both a new musical work and performative and/or digital aspects for presentation outside of traditional music spaces. We are looking for composers who enjoy working flexibly and are eager to engage in an experimental process – not simply a commission.
Commitment to the Project:
The applicant will be required to carry out an initial meeting with their host ensemble then work in residence in the host country – undertaking two residential visits of between 4-7 days throughout the first half of 2015 (exact timing to be agreed with successful applicant). Final rehearsals and development will take place over three days prior to the festival performance in July 2015 (running between the 22nd and 26th).
We will financially support the selected composer with a bursary of €2000 plus agreed travel and accommodation expenses in ensembles’ host countries.
