KlaraFestival and SonicAngel will join forces to scout out promising new local talent. They are organising a contest aimed at musicians and composers between the ages of 16 and 26 who are inspired by classical music. The contest is divided into three categories. The first category will be made up of submissions from musicians who demonstrate their musicality through existing compositions. In the second category, composers can set to work on writing music for their own ensemble or band. The final category will contain submissions of works/compositions that push the envelope and are inspired by classical music.
From all the submissions, a professional jury will invite 15 finalists to give a live performance. Following this performance, the three winners of the contest will be selected. These winners will be offered a platform with SonicAngel and through fan funding – that is, rallying fans via the website and convincing them to pay for part of the cd recording – they can win a recording contract with SonicAngel. KlaraFestival and SonicAngel will each promote the winning musicians in their own way, and the winners are already guaranteed a spot on the bill for KlaraFestival 2012. |
