City: Lviv (Ukraine)
Sponsored by: Lviv Philharmonic Society

The project ”MUSICA PER ARCHI” was born with the idea of meeting and sharing among composers of various nationalities and ages, the common theme of meeting between the world of Eastern contemporary music and Western culture. The Competition will be made possible through one of the most renowned orchestras in Eastern Europe.

The Competition is realized by the collaboration between KLKnewmusic and the KLK String Orchestra. The project is open to all composers of any age and nationality, who want to share their musical and personal journey and attend seminars and opportunities for discussion, on the art of our time, on contemporary music, and on the figure of the Composer in this Third Millennium.
