New Music Indaba 2007

NewMusicSA (South African Section of the ISCM) proudly announces its forthcoming New Music Indaba festival.

The New Music Indaba will consist of four days of masterclasses and workshops for composers, with international artists in residence The Schubert Ensemble of London and South African pianist Jill Richards, and guest composer Stefans Grové. Plus concerts of new works and improvisation, installations and videos, and a mini-conference on composition.

Composers' Workshop Invitation

NewMusicSA is delighted to invite composers to its 2007 New Music Indaba Composers' Workshop. The theme of this year's workshop is The Instrumental Voice and will focus on the rewriting of vocal works for instrumental ensembles and instrumental compositions that may be related to or inspired by vocal works.

Information about the workshops is contained in our New Music Indaba 2007: Composers' Invitation PDF. If you are interested in attending we look forward to hearing from you and if you have students or colleagues who would be interested, we would be grateful if you could pass this news on to them.
