Call for Composers 2025!
BE connect residency with Ensemble Fractales, 13-19 July 2025 in Belgium. Invited composer: Vladimir Gorlinsky
BE connect is a collaborative project between Ensemble Fractales and five selected composers. The composers will closely collaborate with the ensemble on new works for Fractales’ instrumentation (flute, clarinet, piano, violin, cello), which will be premiered in spring 2026. The project will be carried out in three phases:
Phase 1: Preliminary composition/sketches. The composers will discuss their ideas and sketches with the ensemble by video call, which will also serve as a preliminary laboratory to try out musical ideas with the musicians.
Phase 2: Residency in Belgium (13–19 July 2024): Over the course of five days, in an inclusive and welcoming environment, the composers will experiment and rehearse with the ensemble and will receive guidance and feedback from the invited composer, Vladimir Gorlinsky.
Phase 3: Premieres of new works. In the months following the residency in July, the composers will finish composing their works, which will be presented in concert. The concert will be recorded.
