Call For Scores EstOvest Festival 2024

Associazione EstOvest Festival Torino announces a Call for Scores dedicated to young composers of any nationality born after January 1st, 1989.

THE PROJECT

The Call for Scores EstOvest Festival 2024 will be focused on a specific combination of elements. The composer who wins will be required to write a piece for violin and electronics. The piece will be performed during the EstOvest Festival 2024-XXIII edition, which will take place in Turin, Italy, from October 18th to December 3rd, 2024. 

 

The piece aims to be a tribute to Luigi Nono on the centenary of his birth. It is important that the piece demonstrates awareness and affinity with the poetic world of the great Venetian composer. Additionally, the work should draw inspiration from a text (chosen by the composer) of profound social value. However, it is not necessary for this text to be explicitly used in the finished piece.

 

The duration of the piece composed by the winning candidate has to be between 5 and 7 minutes.
