Residency for new music in Montréal

The residency for new music in Montreal supports German-Canadian exchange. In collaboration with the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and Le Vivier - Carrefour des musiques nouvelles, composers from Germany and Canada have the opportunity to get to know the local scene in the host country and to work actively in it.
