Opportunity for young Swiss recording artists
The "next to recherche" program invites young composers from Switzerland to spend a year working on new pieces with the Fribourg-based Ensemble Recherche.
The call is aimed at composers who have completed their studies and are Swiss nationals or residents born in 1981 or later. Ensemble Recherche describes the collaboration as follows: "Spread over a year, starting in December 2016, there will be three meetings lasting several days with ensemble recherche in Fribourg. All working meetings take place in a mixed team of four Swiss composers and up to six composers from all over Europe. During this time, new pieces are created with the support of the team of musicians and composers. The focus is on trying things out and sharing experiences and new ideas. At the end of the joint year, after an intensive final phase, all compositions are premiered in front of the press and audience, who are included in the final discussion."
Applications will be accepted until June 1, 2016.
