Selected works
We are glad to announce the selection committee has finalized the programme for ISCM World Music Days for 2019. Estonian Composers’ Union received over 500 submissions in total, of which 99 works were selected for performance.
ISCM WMD in Estonia aims to introduce contemporary music and the extremely diverse forms of its manifestation. The festival mainly focuses on choral music in its various expressions of genre and style. On the other hand, the festival concentrates on experiments between music and other artistic disciplines, including the intersections between music and architecture, theatre, audiovisual art, and literature. Therefore, we invited composers and sections to propose musical works dealing with the abovementioned themes while reflecting contemporary music in as rich and extensive spectrum as possible.
