Fondazione Giorgio Cini – Conservatorio “Benedetto Marcello”, Venice
Call for applications for 10 singers, 10 brass, 10 woods, 10 strings, 10 percussionists, 10 pianists and 8 composers
Application deadline: 1 June 2023
Artistic Director: Nicholas Isherwood
The title of this masterclass derives from a statement by Karlheinz Stockhausen: 'The problem with music education is that we have conservatories, but we need exploratories'. The concept of exploration will guide the event in all its components: instrumental and vocal sound production, group interaction, notation, and the scenic aspects of music making.
Improvisation
All participants will have the opportunity to study the many forms of improvisation, from Fabbriciani's historical work with Nono to improvisation in jazz. There will be guided improvisations from the contemporary repertoire, improvisations starting from a structure and freer improvisations. The problems of musical improvisation have been dealt with in conferences and publications of the Institute for Music.
Musical Theatre
Learning to play by moving is a widespread technique that is little taught. All the teachers have been involved in opera productions and Isherwood has experience of directing which has taken him to theatres around the world. Each lecturer will bring his or her own unique and personal experience of musical theatre. Neuwirth is one of the most important opera composers of his generation. The subject of experimental musical theatre has been treated in conferences and publications of the Institute for Music.
Composer-Performer
Composer-performers can study the instrument with the relevant teacher and attend the composition course. Many instrument teachers have experience in composition and will be able to help in the particular work of those who play and compose.
Teachers:
Nicholas Isherwood: art direction, singing, musical theatre.
Abbie Conant: brass.
Roberto Fabbriciani: woodwinds.
Joëlle Léandre: strings.
Robyn Schulkowsky: percussion
Daan Vandewalle: piano
