Call for Scores – MISE_EN MUSIC FESTIVAL 2019 ensemble mise-en is thrilled to announce the call for scores for the MISE-EN MUSIC FESTIVAL 2019! Note, deadline for submission: December 15, 2018 (EST 11:59PM) Submission Fee: $27 (USD, non-refundable) First up this month, correspondence passed on by one of our members: news of a free workshop for composers in Brussels with the ensemble Sturm und Klang on the 8th and 9th of December. Workshop pour compositeurs 5ème édition Dans un esprit de réflexion permanent autour de la création musicale d'aujourd'hui, Sturm und Klang organise tous les deux ans un atelier à destination des compositeurs qui terminent leurs études ou commencent leur carrière. Organisés en partenariat avec le Forum des Compositeurs, ces workshops offrent la possibilité à 4 compositeurs de travailler avec l'Ensemble Sturm und Klang le temps d'un week-end, autour d'une composition écrite pour l'occasion, le plus souvent pour une large formation: quintette à vent, quintette à cordes et percussions. Les sessions, qui sont conçues comme un atelier pratique d'orchestration, se déroul§ent sous la supervision d'un compositeur renommé. Lors du travail de répétition, le dialogue entre les compositeurs, les musiciens et le chef de l'ensemble est privilégié, pour favoriser un moment où les œuvres travaillées sont encore susceptibles de modifications. À l'issue de cette courte résidence, les pièces sont exécutées en concert public et enregistrées. Ce projet encourage les échanges entre jeunes compositeurs, en leur offrant l'opportunité de confronter leur imaginaire et leurs connaissances musicales. Il permet aussi de faire circuler les oeuvres auprès des musiciens. La participation au Workshop est gratuite pour les compositeurs.
