OSTRAVA DAYS 2011
August 15 – September 4, 2011
Ostrava Days is a working environment, not a school. With two resident orchestras Janáček Philharmonic and Ostravská banda, the focus is on, but not limited to, working with large-scale ensembles. It features seminars by lecturers as well as presentations by guests and resident-students. Participants interact in an informal manner and one-on-one sessions are no exception. Approximately 35 student applications will be accepted. The student body is international and includes composers and performers from Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia. The Festival program includes selected compositions by resident-students and works by lecturers and guests of Ostrava Days, among others.
Students will be chosen by a review of no more than 3 scores and audio samples submitted by the applicants.
Aplication guidelines will be announced in November 2010.
The Application deadline is March 1st, 2011.
