This workshop invites emerging composers to submit compositions for members of Ensemble ZAR, led by composer Bushra El-Turk.

Composers will have the opportunity to workshop their pieces of 3-5 minutes long with members of Ensemble ZAR, explore a variety of approaches they might need to express their musical ideas when encountering cross-cultural ensembles, attend an open rehearsal of Vane and the performance of Woman at Point Zero, and listen to thought-provoking talks given by Bushra El-Turk and Olmo Cornelis.

At the end of the course, composers will have gained a deeper and broader understanding of writing for cross-cultural ensembles, created some of their own systems of expressing their musical ideas across to musicians of different cultural traditions and how that might be serve their own artistic voice as well as methods of creative collaboration. They will also have a video recording of their pieces in performance.
