Composers born after December 16, 1989
Narrazioni Parallele is a three-year project promoted by the City of Turin and funded by the “Torino, che cultura!” initiative.
It was created to meet the artistic need to experiment and foster dialogue between emerging young talents in the contemporary compositional scene and choral and instrumental institutions of traditional classical music, enriched with electronic music and various other genres.
The invitation to experiment is extended through two biennial Calls for Composers.
This first call, presented here, will conclude in early 2025 and focuses on the theme of dialogue: participants are asked to interpret what constitutes the parallel narratives of our contemporary era, to explore the dialogue underlying compositions conceived in the current socio-historical context, and to express the diverse voices of modernity—parallel narratives that may interact and connect within the compositional framework of their works.
Selected composers will participate in a mentoring program led by a team of composers and musicians chaired by Davide “Boosta” Dileo. This program will enable participants to develop their compositions from a multidisciplinary perspective, in a workshop format akin to an artistic residency. This process will encompass instrumental interpretation, technical analysis of musical writing, coaching, and tutoring. The composers will undergo a comprehensive creative journey culminating in the public presentation of their works.
The program encourages intergenerational exchange and concrete dialogue between composers and multidisciplinary professionals. The inspiring ideas behind the compositions, interpreting the theme of dialogue between parallel narratives in an original and creative way, may also be presented in video format on stage, alongside their performance. Through interviews conducted by a team from Associazione Lucas in collaboration with the Politecnic of Turin – Cinema and Media Engineering, the artistic message will be translated into visual media with the support of generative artificial intelligence.
THE CALL
Lucas, Filarmonica TRT, and Accademia Corale Stefano Tempia announce a Call for Composers dedicated to young composers under the age of 35 (i.e., those born after December 16, 1989) for the Narrazioni Parallele project. The call is open to individuals of any nationality, provided they are residing in Italy.
The Call for Composers: Narrazioni Parallele in Dialogo aims to select and promote young talent in the field of contemporary composition. Selected participants will be invited to create original works that integrate diverse musical languages, with a particular focus on blending electronic instruments, small orchestral ensembles, and voices.
Submitted compositions must interpret the theme of dialogue, exploring connections between parallel narratives with synesthetic elements.
The selected compositions will be performed during the first edition of the Festival Narrazione Contemporaneità:
June 20 and 21, 2025 (Teatro Juvarra, Turin).
A second edition of the Festival, associated with the subsequent Call for Composers to be announced at the end of 2025, will take place in June 2026.
