2013–14 Edition

Our goal is to foster genuine collaboration – this means giving participants the time frame and resources both to create works which will nurture their development as artists, and form valued contributions to the repertoire.

To this end, we’re spreading our 3rd edition across two seasons: the first for experimentation, collaboration, contemplation and revision; the second for rehearsal, discussion, peer evaluation, and presentation.

2013 : Preliminary workshops for the creation of new music

in Norway: 3–9 August

• preliminary workshops with participants from Scandinavia and the UK
• a special concert by our performers
Musicians: Gregor Riddell, cello (UK); Silje Aker Johnsen, soprano (Norway); Mira Benjamin, violin (Canada) + invited guests

in Canada: dates TBA

• preliminary workshops with Canadian participants

2014 : Northern New Music Encounters
3rd edition – Oslo, Norway

Our next Northern New Music Encounter will be held in Oslo, Norway, during summer 2014. This week-long meeting will present a schedule of collaborative events which include:

• performances of the participants’ work
• participant-run workshops, discussion groups and presentations
• opportunities to collaborate across both sides of the musical score
