Festivalen Nordic Music Days / Nordiske Musikdage har fundet sted siden 1888 og er dermed en af verdens ældste festivaler for ny klassisk musik.
I dag arrangeres festivalen hvert år på skift af de nordiske lande på vegne af Nordisk Komponistråd, og i 2019 er den norske komponistforening vært for festivalen, som de har valgt at lægge i Bodø i november (uge 46).
Det er nu muligt at indsende værkforslag og idéer til festivalen - max to forslag per komponist.
Call for Works and Ideas
- Nordic Music days 2019 is called: Truth?
With this theme, we want to investigate whether music can provide moments of truth. Who owns the truth, who owns the story and who owns the art? Is it possible to discuss whether the music is true? Which repertoire becomes historical and what processes, structures and possibly coincidences form the historical writing? Is the music, which is often wordless, more free than other forms of art? Is reality an antonym of art and artistry? My story is as true as yours - but it will never be the same story. We will look at the importance of telling a wide range of stories and present many voices. Everyone owns their own truth.
