Composer's stay at the Brunner Schoeck Villa
This summer, the Organization of the Swiss Abroad is offering a composer a scholarship for a four-week residency in the house where Othmar Schoeck was born. Condition: Swiss nationality, residence abroad.
During the residency from August 19 to September 17, 2017, a song with piano or chamber orchestra accompaniment is to be created. A specific subject is not specified, but according to the call for applications, "an attempt should be made to find a theme in collaboration with the artist."
All Swiss composers living abroad are invited to apply. The residency scholarship includes accommodation (room in the Schoeck Villa), a contribution towards living and travel expenses and a fee of CHF 1,500 for the composition. The composition is to be performed in Brunnen in 2018.
The submission must be made electronically by April 13, 2017 to info@schoeckfestival.ch
The application form and the detailed call for applications are available on the website of the Organization of the Swiss Abroad:

The Organization of the Swiss Abroad awarded the "Artist in Residence" residency scholarship in Brunnen for the first time in 2016 because, according to the organization, "the Swiss Abroad Square on Lake Lucerne in Brunnen should also become an anchor point for Swiss artists living abroad".
