Musicology students’ club fusNota presents pieces of the young generation of composers who are yet to come to the music scene, students of composition at the Music Academy in Zagreb. In promoting the work of these young artists, they have been joined by their fellow colleagues from the other sections of the Academy, instrumentalists, who will perform the chosen programme.

„Intermezzo for piano was written in 2013.“ Marko Slaviček

„The titles have no narrative background, they are purely associations, impressions. Some speak for themselves, some depict the entire movement, like the one of the 1st movement, Introduction, for instance. The titles are intentionally general because I don’t wish to impose my own associations on the listener.“  Marko Žerovnik

„The Phoenix City, as the citizens of Warsaw call it, got its name following the terrible bombing in the World War II, when the city completely lost its identity. Since this piece was first performed in Warsaw, I wanted to honour all those who took part in rebuilding of the Warsaw identity and culture, thereby building up hope and spirit.“ Sara Glojnarić

„Lux Aeterna for voice and piano was written in 2012. It is a prayer-music that anticipates its hopeful fulfilment.” Ivan Violić

„The piece was first performed in Novi Sad in 2012 and this is its first performance in Croatia. It is an unpretentious piece with a pretentious title, the meaning of which I leave to the listeners.” Antonio Babić

INTERNATIONAL COMPOSERS’ EXCHANGE @ IZLOG SUVREMENOG ZVUKA

International Composers’ Exchange is a project of the four member countries of the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) – Great Britain, Sweden, Estonia and Croatia. The idea behind the project is to get to know each other and exchange experiences of the composers presenting the four ISCM sections.
Composers taking part in the International Composers’ Exchange project are: John Chantler and Patricia Alessandrini (Great Britain), Magnus Bunnskog and Sol Andersson (Sweden), Tatjana Kozlova and Helena Tulve (Estonia) and Sanja Drakulić and Mirela Ivičević (Croatia). International Composers’ Exchange is planned to have four meetings of composers in each of the member countries, with the goal of getting to know the contemporary music scene of the host-country. The first meeting was held in London in March this year, and Croatia is the host-country during the Showroom of Contemporary Sound, where one of the UK representatives, John Chantler, will perform. During their stay in Zagreb, from May 9 to May 12, the composers will take part in the programme of the Showroom, see the Planet 8 by Mirela Ivičević, and attend a number of presentations by the local artists from the contemporary music scene.
