to young composers born after January 1st, 1987
Associazione EstOvest Festival Torino announces a Call for Scores dedicated to young composers from any nationality born
after January 1st, 1987.
THE PROJECT
The Call For Scores EstOvest Festival 2022 is destined to countertenor and cello duo. The selected composer will write a piece to be performed within the frame of the Contemporary Cello Week 2022, a project by EstOvest Festival. The event will take place between Turin and Guarene (CN), Italy, from October 27th until October 31st, 2022.
The composer who wins the Call For Scores EstOvest Festival 2022 has to write a piece for countertenor and cello. Salient feature of the composition will be exploring the sonorities of cello and voice, how these two can compenetrate, and at the same time how they may maintain profound indipendence in relation to several compositional parameters. Another aspect the composer will pay their attention to is the extremely extended historical period (from fourteenth century vocality to nowaday’s instrumental writing) where the voice and/or the medium-low register stringed instrument have had space in the musical creation.
The duration of the piece composed by the winning candidate has to be between 5 and 7 minutes.
Interpreters
Danilo Pastore, countertenor
Alexander Baillie, cello
