The precept.concept.percept residency focuses on a collaborative creative process where performers and composers work closely together to prepare for a performance at the fifth .abeceda Contemporary Music Festival (Bled, Slovenia, EU). Composers present, optimize, theorize, and develop new works, while performers form an ensemble to refine their practice and premiere these compositions.

The 1-year program unfolds in three stages:

    1. Four monthly online workshops in spring, where both performers and composers present their artistic practices, as well as prepare for the following one-week workshop at the festival.

    2. An intensive one-week session in Bled, Slovenia (EU), featuring score readings and ensemble rehearsals, culminating in a live-recorded festival performance.

    3. Three online workshops in the fall, focused on in-depth analysis and reflection on the performances and composed works.

Participants benefit from high-quality documentation of their performances and recordings, opportunities to network with international artists, and a chance to establish long-term collaborations with fellow residency participants and the .abeceda [New Music Ensemble].
