For the partnership project XN / Experimental Encounters between the moers festival and the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (UK), we are looking for workshop participants!
The project focuses on improvisation and brings together genres such as jazz, free improvisation, composition, and electronic music, with a special emphasis on emerging artists based in Germany (requirement).
In this three-day workshop, participants will explore processes of discovery and experimentation, engage in listening and playing exercises, and study semi-guided scores. These activities will culminate in a new ensemble piece for improvisers, which will be performed as part of the 55th moers festival.
Project dates: May 21–23, 2026
Project lead: Heather Roche (cl, bcl)
Contact: Polina Titova (polina.titova@moers-festival.de).
Application deadline: Sunday, April 12, 2026.
XN is funded by the Gesellschaft zur Verwertung von Leistungsschutzrechten mbH (GVL)
and Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL) with the support of the Goethe-Institut London.
