Call for applications for 10 singers, 10 brass players, 10 woodwinds, 10 string players and 10 composers
The title of this masterclass comes from a comment by Karlheinz Stockhausen: “The problem with music education is that we have conservatories, but we need exploratories.” The concept of exploration will inform every part of this event: the production of instrumental and vocal sound, group interaction, notation, scenic aspects of music making, and the study of the latent theoretical layers in musical practices. The masterclass teachers will be: Nicholas Isherwood for artistic direction, singing, improvisation, musical theatre and composing-performing; Abbie Conant will deal with the brass section, improvisation and composing-performing; Roberto Fabbriciani – woodwinds, improvisation, composing-performing; Séverine Ballon – strings, improvisation; Olga Neuwirth – composition, musical theatre; and Michela Garda and Ingrid Pustijanac – musicology.

The Fondazione Giorgio Cini and the Fondazione Lucio Fontana have announced a call for applications for a grant to study “Lucio Fontana, the Argentine period: monuments, projects and works”. The grant is named after Enrico Crispolti (Rome, 18 April 1933 – Rome, 8 December 2018), who devoted much of his research to the work of the Italo-Argentine artist. The grant is thus meant to renew and continue the relationship between the celebrated art historian and the next generations of scholars.
