Werk van jonge Belgische hedendaagsemuziekcomponisten op ISCM World Music Days (CA)
Van 2 tot en met 8 November 2017 loopt in Vancouver het World Music Days-festival van de International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM). Het festival vindt jaarlijks plaats, telkens in een andere stad.
Voor deze editie bieden ISCM, de Canadian League of Composers and Music, en Music on Main een platform aan nieuwe ideeën en nieuwe samenwerkingen uit vijftig landen. De selectie gebeurde op basis van een wereldwijde call. Daarin riep het in de herfst van vorig jaar hedendaagsemuziekcomponisten op om composities in te zenden. Na de selectie door een leescomité werden zes composities voorgelegd aan de organisatoren van de World Music Days 2017.
Werk van drie componisten werd geselecteerd om te worden uitgevoerd in Vancouver: ‘Gestalt X’ van Frederik Neyrinck, ‘Kropka Na Ogonie & Soroka Fruwa’ van Aurélie Lierman, en ‘Hände ohne Orte’ van Stefan Prins.

In 2017, the Canadian League of Composers and Music on Main welcome nearly 50 countries for a festival of new music and a celebration of new ideas, new collaborations, and new fusions.
