Composer in Residence \u2013 Female Composers to Frankfurt \u2013 In cooperation with the Institute of Contemporary Music (IzM), based at the Frankfurt Academy of Music and Performing Arts (HfMDK), the Archive for Women in Music (Archiv Frau und Musik) has once more awarded a three month residency to a female composer. Scholarship Benefits<\/b><\/p>\n The composer will be provided with cost-free housing in the Hoffmanns H\u00f6fe, Frankfurt, a monthly season ticket for Frankfurt\u2019s public transport, and a monthly scholarship allowance of 750 Euros, enabling her to live and work in Frankfurt. Travel costs of the composer up to 400 Euros are covered as well.<\/p>\n Supporting Programme and Musical Events<\/b><\/p>\n During the residency a work shop will take place in co-operation with the Institute of Contemporary Music (IzM). In addition, and in co-operation with the school project \u201cResponse\u201d which is run by the Frankfurt Academy of Music (HfMDK), a school class will have the opportunity of working for several days with the resident composer, an instrumentalist and one of the leaders involved in the school project. The idea here is to develop an \u201canswer\u201d to one of the resident\u2019s compositions. The school project \u201cResponse\u201d takes a contemporary composition to which children and young adults respond with their own improvisations and compositions. The result of this collaboration will also be performed in the final concert.<\/p>\n Time frame of the Scholarship<\/b><\/p>\n The time frame of the 3-month stay is from 13th<\/sup> April to 16th<\/sup> July.<\/p>\n Jury<\/b><\/p>\n The jury consisted of one representative from each of the following institutions: the International Working Group for Women and Music (Internationaler Arbeitskreis Frau und Musik, e.V.), the Institute for Contemporary Music at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts (IzM), Hessen Radio (Hessischer Rundfunk), as well as a composer and an active interpreter of contemporary music.
