The New Symposium

Open call - The New Symposium

WEEKLY RESIDENCY PROGRAM for COMPOSERS, PERFORMERS, MUSICOLOGISTS, RESEARCHERS, PEDAGOGUES, PRODUCERS, and other practitioners engaged in the field of music and art!

The New Symposium is an ongoing international program that brings together practitioners, theorists, and researchers through weekly online sessions. Participants present their work, engage in critical dialogue, exchange methods and ideas, and cultivate reflective practice within a diverse peer group.

The program culminates in an in-person gathering at Bled Contemporary Music Week (June 22–26, 2026), where participants continue their research, collaborate on site, and attend festival concerts, symposia, and lectures, deepening the connections formed online.

To join the program starting in January, apply before December 18.
