creating the music of tomorrow
soundSCAPE facilitates the exchange of new music, ideas, and culture between musicians of tomorrow's generation, providing composers and musicians an international platform for performances of new music. Now in its sixth season, the festival annually attracts participants from around the world for two weeks of inspiring concerts, lectures, master classes, and workshops.
The 2010 festival welcomes performers in all instruments and voice types. The music of emerging composers is featured in open rehearsals, the Composition Colloquium, and in recorded performances. In turn, performers receive coaching from composers, complementing instruction in modern performance techniques from an internationally renowned faculty. The experiences of soundSCAPE resonate well beyond the festival, as participants develop a myriad of collaborative initiatives resulting in future commissions, performances, and careers. Please join us for a celebration of new music in 2010!
