Resident Composers: 2 Canadians (citizens or permanent residents) and 2 Netherlands (living or studying in Netherlands)
PROFESSIONAL RESIDENCY for composers in a combination of workshop, laboratory, playground, masterclass and concert settings.
June 4 to 10, 2023 Montreal (Canada)
September 2 to 10, 2023 Utrecht (Netherlands)
September/October, 2023 Montreal (Canada)
Details of the development process:
The resident composers will bring sketches to develop a new string quartet across 2 defined periods. The compositions will be read, played, assessed, analysed, worked on in Montreal June 2023. In the second period, in Utrecht, the pieces from the Montreal portion will be refreshed and revised prior to a premiere performance in Utrecht in the Gaudeamus Festival in Fall 2023. The Canadian premiere in Montreal will follow soon afterwards. The resident composers will:
Develop the work in an intimate and concentrated setting, accompanied by QB, with Mayke Nas and Jimmie LeBlanc. While most of the week is spent together there is also time for one-on-one lessons.
Give a presentation (30min) of their recent work.
Get to know the quartet by engaging with their activity throughout the project: composers can have the opportunity to discuss aspects of the working life of the quartet including programming, planning tours and events, funding, marketing and audience development.
