The symposium was not a concert, but a working day for young composers: a place to think about music before writing the next piece.
Marcela Lucatelli spoke from inside a compositional practice where voice, body, theatre and musical material are difficult to separate. Christiane Mossin and Emil Rostrup opened questions around aesthetics, theatre, perception and artistic regimes.
For me, this kind of day belongs naturally inside composition teaching. Young composers need concerts, workshops and performers — but they also need situations where thought is allowed to become part of the craft.
