EIGHT BRIDGES | Music for Cologne - International Competition for Young Composers

In the framework of the next festival ACHT BRÜCKEN | Musik für Köln (EIGHT BRIDGES | Music for Cologne) which is dedicated to the work of Bernd Alois Zimmermann the composition competition will take place for the seventh time in 2018.

Composers up to 30 years are invited to present a new work for ensemble (flute, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, french horn, trombone, 2 percussion, 2 piano, string quintet) working with Zimmermann’s musical metaphor of an “spherical form of time".

Basic data of the competition

The jury will select three compositions for completion on May 4th by MAM.manufaktur aktuelle musik within ACHT BRÜCKEN | Musik für Köln.

The jury consists of the following members: • Prof. Johannes Schöllhorn, composer • Susanne Blumenthal, conductor of the final concert.

We will announce the other jury members (one representative of the WDR and the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Cologne) on achtbruecken.de as soon as possible.
