Call for Composer’s Kitchen 2025
Quatuor Bozzini + Gaudeamus
19 December 2024 – Quatuor Bozzini (Canada) and Gaudeamus (Netherlands) invite young emerging composers to apply for Composer’s Kitchen 2025.
Who:
Quatuor Bozzini
With Maya Verlaak and Zosha di Castri, composer mentors
Resident Composers: 2 Canadians (citizens or permanent residents) and 2 Netherlands (living or studying in Netherlands)
What:
PROFESSIONAL RESIDENCY for composers in a combination of workshop, laboratory, playground, masterclass and concert settings.
When (dates are inclusive of working days and concerts):
June 2 to 6, 2025 Montreal, Canada
September 8 to 12, 2025 Utrecht, Netherlands
October 2025 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 2025. 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 2025. 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 Maya Verlaak and Zosha di Castri. 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.
Eligibility:
• Must be a citizen or permanent resident in Canada or living or studying in Netherlands
• Must be available for both periods and have time to create a new quartet for the group.
• The residency must represent a significant development opportunity for the young artist
