The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage launched the 6th edition of the Collections programme - Composing Commissions 2017-2018 priority. The programme is implemented by the Institute of Music and Dance.
The priority serves to support the creation of contemporary music by commissioning new compositions and providing conditions to their lasting presence in the public space. The fundamental goal of the priority is to bolster the role of new music as a vital medium of social communication and to include contemporary compositions in the transformations of modern culture, including presentations of those works in the context of such issues as the redefinition of high culture, changing roles of artists and audiences, or the impact of new media and technologies on the musical language and reception of music.
Applications for the Composing Commissions priority may be submitted by state and local government-run cultural institutions, non-governmental organisations, churches and religious organizations, state colleges of arts and private schools of arts, as well as business entities.
Application deadline: November 30, 2016.
