Pour cet appel à candidatures, lancé le 21 janvier 2022, chaque compositeur et compositrice était libre d’indiquer le ou les ensembles pour lesquels il/elle souhaiterait composer une œuvre musicale d’une durée minimale de 8 minutes.

Les compositeurs et compositrices retenus/es par les six ensembles et orchestres partenaires du projet sont les suivants/es:

The Centre de Musiques Amplifiées – Rockhal is calling for applications from Luxembourg composers for the creation of an original and unpublished sound work.

This call is part of the actions of the Centre de Musiques Amplifiées – Rockhal aimed at promoting and supporting music made in Luxembourg.
