ISCM WORLD MUSIC DAYS 2008 - Vilnius, Lithuania
24 de Outubro a 4 de Novembro 2008
Programming work in progress
Almost 40 works were selected during the ISCM Interntional Jury session, which took place on October 29-31, 2007, at the Composers' Union in Vilnius. Peter Eötvös (Hungary / Germany), Jonathan Harvey (United Kingdom), Luca Francesconi (Italy), Onut? Narbutait? (Lithuania) and Helena Tulve (Estonia) selected works in symphonic, chamber orchestra categories as well as works for large and small chamber ensembles, choral music scores, multimedia projects and installations, which could reflect well creativity in the various parts of the world.
All selected pieces should become part of the overall dramaturgy of the festival, which will include traditional concerts as well as less formal musical actions, music walks and club events. The concept of the festival is developed in collaboration with the curator Lieven Bertels (Holland Festival).
It will be the first large-scale international new music gathering in the Baltic Region, and the first ISCM World Music Days in this part of Europe, a dream running-up event for 2009, when Vilnius will bear the title of Cultural Capital of Europe.
