The Fondation Suisa is inviting applications for a first year of work in the field of "Music and Performance for/with children" for the period 2013 to 2014.
The new Werkjahr is endowed with a net sum of 80,000 Swiss francs and is awarded every two years to Swiss composers who contribute to Swiss music creation with innovative projects.
The aim of the Werkjahr is to support the musical careers of the beneficiaries by enabling them to concentrate fully on their musical work for the duration of the Werkjahr.
The exact work year period will be determined in consultation with the beneficiary composer. SUISA members with Swiss citizenship or a permanent residence permit are eligible to apply. Candidates must also not have reached the age of 40 at the time of their application.
