Women composers to Frankfurt!
Together with the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts, the Archiv Frau und Musik is awarding the "Composer in Residence" scholarship. Applications are possible until March 15.
The Archiv Frau und Musik has announced that it is awarding its International Composer in Residence Scholarship in cooperation with the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts (HfMDK), Institute for Contemporary Music (IzM), for the fourth time. It runs from mid-July to mid-October 2019, and composers of all ages and nationalities can apply for the three-month scholarship until March 15, 2019.
The archive and the HfMDK offer the composer the unique opportunity to use resources such as the studio for electronic music and acoustics and the international women's music network. During her stay in Frankfurt, the scholarship holder will compose a new work and rehearse it with HfMDK students. In addition, a school class from the HfMDK's Response school project will develop a musical "response" to one of her works under her guidance.
The jury will announce the name of the composer at the end of May. The newly created works will be premiered at the final concert on October 17, 2019.
The Women and Music Archive originated from the Internationaler Arbeitskreis Frau und Musik e. V. association founded in 1979. It currently archives the music of around 1800 female composers from the 9th century to the present day.
