Classical:NEXT Fellowship Programme for Composers 2019

Classical:NEXT Fellowship Programme for Composers 2019
15-18 May 2019, Classical:NEXT Rotterdam (The Netherlands).
In collaboration with ECSA, Dutch Composers Association Nieuw Geneco will host the new Classical NEXT Fellowship Programme for Composers. The Programme gives composers a chance to take part in the international platform for exchange, debate & collaboration Classical:NEXT provides.

Each composer is paired with a Classical:NEXT-insider, who will introduce the composers to the community (and vice versa), bringing them into personal contact with relevant individuals and organizations as well as exchanging knowledge. A team of music professionals (publishers, programmers of venues, festivals) will do the matchmaking.

The CNEXT Composers Programme offers:
-Registration for Classical:NEXT, including all events, trade fair, conferences, showcases and incl. coffee/tea and lunch
-Composers Meeting at CNEXT
-Connection to music professional and CNEXT insiders
-Matchmaking and speed date sessions
-Friday Network reception at Codarts Music University (next door)
-Composers Pool for Conferences; we will send the bio’s to relevant conference makers. From this versatile pool of composers present, the chairs of the various conferences can pick relevant panellists.

Participants:
Aleksandra Chmielewska (Pol), Martin Lichtfuss (Aut), Vilde Ilkama Nupen (No), Jørgen Karlstrøm (No), Dagfinn Koch (No), Ellen Bødtker (No), Tze Yeung Ho (No), Svein Hundsnes (No), Stein Eide (No), Sofie de Rijk (NL), Aspasia Nasopoulou (GR/NL), Ned McGowan (USA/NL), Anthony Fiumara (NL), Arthur Wagenaar (NL), Jan Peter de Graaff (NL), Merlijn Twaalfhoven (NL), Rembrandt Frerichs (NL).

“Thanks to new connections I made at CN2018 my opera will be performed in Hong Kong 2019! If you, like me, wind up with at least one valuable contact, it is totally worth it.”
Monique Krüs, composer
