WHO WE ARE The Delian Academy for New Music is an international summer academy for composers and sound artists located on the island of Mykonos, Greece. Curated under the auspices of Georges Aperghis and Grypario Cultural Center, the Academy derives its name from the nearby island of Delos, the birthplace of god Apollo, and a UNESCO world heritage site. Unlike top-down organization programs, our Academy is a participant-driven meeting where attendees co-decide and create the agenda for a series of symposia, workshops, and concerts with the guidance of faculty and staff. The 2019 edition will take place from June 7 to June 16 in Grypario Cultural Center of Mykonos. Participating composers will have the chance to take part in masterclasses, presentations, workshops and have their music performed by our ensembles in residence. The main language of the Academy will be English. Additional languages may be used in private masterclasses. FEES AND FUNDING All participants are encouraged to seek funding through state grants, foundations, institutes of higher education or other institutions. The Academy will provide you with all necessary documentation that will help your application. You can find a guide to cultural mobility funding at www.on-the-move.org/funding/ Scholarship in memoriam Iannis Xenakis One (1) merit/need-based scholarship will be awarded in the memory of Iannis Xenakis, covering the full amount of participation fees. The scholarship holder must still cover their travel and accommodation expenses. If you would like to be considered for the scholarship, please include a short letter in your application, explaining the circumstances. If you have sufficient funds or a source of funding (e.g., through your school, foundations, state grants), we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting funding so that others in real financial need can be assisted.
