precept.concept.percept I. - XI. 

2020 - 2024

 

The initial editions of the workshop were conducted as five-day online programs, featuring .abeceda [New Music Ensemble] performing the workshopped compositions. These works were subsequently presented at festivals and concerts or professionally documented.

 

Over 70 participants from America, Australia, Asia, and Europe attended the workshop. Some composers continued working with the ensemble as composers in residence. Their works have been featured in festivals and concerts, and their interviews have been included in printed editions of Verso Doxa.

 

Past participants about the program:

 

"If you're looking for somewhere to find more composer friends, expand your network boundaries—especially outside of the US—or a place to present and challenge your composition work, followed by having your piece performed, this is a great option!"
R. R. - Iran/USA

 

"It's an amazing music workshop. It not only allows me to see the diversity of world music, but also builds a platform for everyone to communicate. I hope to have the opportunity to participate again!"
W. Z. - China

 

"A rare opportunity for me to have in-depth discussions about my music in an international setting."
M. S. - Japan

 

"I am grateful to have participated in precept.concept.percept and thank you for the numerous discussions, interactions, and exchanges of musical ideas."

"Throughout the rehearsal process of my music with the ensemble, I was thoroughly pleased. All of the musicians, engineers, and coordinators acted very professionally, producing high-quality work with the utmost level of respect for the musical material. I look forward to working with ensemble .abeceda and other such ensembles in the future as a composer."
J. P. - USA
