ARC: Create, Refine, Amplify
Spanning eight weeks starting in June 2017, a series of five Summer Classical Music programs will be dedicated to the highest standards of chamber and solo playing and include a faculty of passionate and accomplished interpreters. Summer Classical Music Programs are designed to support the creation of new music, the refinement of traditional and contemporary practices, and the amplification of music into the public space by means of reflection and conversation. Through experiential programming, artists will understand the new within the language of the old, and infuse traditional practices with the energy of recent creative compositions. Artists are encouraged to apply to more than one program.
What do Summer Classical Music Programs offer?
Daily activities will typically include—but are not limited to—lessons, master classes, curated seminars, informal conversations, rehearsals, hikes, and public performances. Summer Classical Music Programs will include cross-disciplinary collaborations with other Banff Centre artists and programs to influence the development and interpretation of new work. Programming will create rich collaborative relationships and stimulate intense experiences in music-making.
Who should apply?
Programs are designed for musicians with active careers in the performance, creation and presentation of classical music. Participants should have evidence of an emerging or established career supported by an active performing and recording history. Programs are open to individual participants, pre-formed groups, and composers from around the world. Residency lengths are two weeks. Upon special request shorter residencies are possible. Artists are encouraged to apply to more than one program.
