We are delighted to announce a 8-month long composition mentorship program led by David Moliner, renowned composer and international percussion soloist. It is meant to address advanced student composers as well as emergent composers who want to work actively on the percussion world to enhance their technical skills. As a final part of the learning process, the composers will write a work that David Moliner will premiere at the Elbphilharmonie in December 2026.
The objective of this mentorship program is to study the notation processes of multipercussion, as well as the marimba sound world, with the desire to launch prospective composers creating solid percussion repertoire pieces. Specifically, as a final part of the program, mentored composers will create 9 works of possible instrumentation: marimba, bongos, 2 tom toms and temple blocks. The source of inspiration will be the music of Iannis Xenakis percussion (especially Rebonds A and B).
After the premiere in January 2026 at Elbphilharmonie, maximum 3 composers will be selected, who will each receive a commission (worth 3000 euros) for marimba solo. The work will be premiered in 2026-27 season in Carnegie Hall (The exact date will be announce in advance).
9 advanced student composers will be selected. This 6 composers will be tutored by David Moliner in monthly individual-collective online meetings where they will be guided through different technical sections of percussion such as: Theoretical Approaches of Percussion, Percussion Techniques, Percussion History Writing, Percussion Historical Solo Works, Xenakis music influence as well as Composition Individual Lessons. One collective meeting will take place at the Musikverein offices. This encounter will offer plenty of opportunities for professional networking and establishing meaningful international and professional friendships. The 9 selected composers will also have the opportunity to publish the works in Universal Edition.
9 Composers will selected. 6 Composers will be on a waiting list until those selected confirm their participation.
