Edward Clijsen awarded Slovenian composition residency

PhD Student Edward Clijsen will be a participant in the Slovenian Inštitut abeceda precept.concept.percept XVi residency programme in 2025-26.

 

The precept.concept.percept residency focuses on a collaborative creative process where performers and composers work closely together to prepare for a performance at the sixth Bled Contemporary Music Week (Bled, Slovenia, EU). Composers present, optimize, theorize, and develop new works, while performers form an ensemble to refine their practice and premiere these compositions.

 

Edward will collaborate closely with performers to compose a new work to be performed at the Sixth Annual Bled Contemporary Music Festival (June 2026) in Bled, Slovenia.
