The Barcelona Modern Ensemble, with the collaboration of the Institut Français-Barcelona, and the Fundació Conservatori del Liceu, opens the call for dossiers for the Barcelona Modern International Composition Course 11st edition.
The course is aimed primarily at young composers, selected by open call for dossiers, who will be tutored by two guest composers of renowned prestige.
Structured in three meetings of three intensive days each, the selected active participants develop a composition project supervised by the guest composers with the BARCELONA MODERN ENSEMBLE (permanent resident ensemble) for acoustic music –flute, clarinet, saxophone, cello and piano–, or with the ENSEMBLE ORBIS (resident guest ensemble) for mixed music –flute, saxophone, accordion, percussion and electronics–. Composers selected for a reading session can work with one of the ensembles and have unlimited access to all course activities.
The course is developed around individual and group classes given by the guest composers, lectures, instrumental workshops performed by the musicians of the resident ensembles who are available to students during the course, open rehearsals and concerts. The first meeting is focused on a lecture/masterclass of the guest composers, and on individual presentations of the participants –the explanation of their music and the future work to be composed throughout the course– and a mixed music workshop. During the second meeting, the individual composition classes of the active students begin, as well as the rehearsals with the ensembles of 50% of the composted work, a mixed music workshop and concerts of the Barcelona Modern Festival. The third meeting includes individual composition classes too, the final rehearsals of the composed work, the third part of the mixed music workshop and the public premiere of the works composed during the course by the active participants.
The first meeting of the course is held online, the second meeting in person or online at the participant’s free choice, and the third meeting compulsorily in person in Barcelona.
First meeting: January 15, 16 and 17, 2025 (online)
Second meeting: April 23, 24 and 25, 2025 (in person or online)
Third meeting: July 23, 24, 25, 2025 (in person)
