The precept.concept.percept residency centers on a collaborative creative process in which composers and performers work closely together toward the realization of new works and their performance at the seventh Bled Contemporary Music Week in Bled, Slovenia, EU.
Composers develop new works or further elaborate existing programs, while performers form an ensemble that engages directly with these compositions, refining their interpretative skills and expanding their artistic practice through the process of bringing new works to premiere. Throughout the online sessions, participants are invited to critically reflect on and discuss their practices within the conceptual framework of the upcoming edition: grounding, composition of mind, and [emancipatory practices].
The program provides a focused context for artistic development through collaborative practice, critical reflection, and exchange, while fostering new international artistic relationships and forms of artistic dialogue.
