The Albi Rosenthal Visiting Fellowship in Music, 2018-19
Composers are invited to apply for the 2018-19 Albi Rosenthal Visiting Fellowship at the Bodleian Libraries. The Fellowship provides for a period of residence in Oxford and research in the Special Collections of the Bodleian Libraries which should act as a stimulus for the Fellow's composing activity. The Fellowship also marks a collaboration with the Oxford Lieder Festival, one of the world's leading song festivals.
Oxford Lieder will commission a significant new song or song cycle from the Fellow. The precise nature of this will be open to discussion, but it is anticipated that that the work will be 15-20 minutes duration, and a commission fee (in the region of £2,000) will be paid by Oxford Lieder. This will be for performance in the Festival in October 2019. In addition, there may be the opportunity to programme one or more of the Fellow's existing works in other Oxford Lieder performances.
Applications are open to all and composers at an early stage in their careers are encouraged to apply. There are no geographical restrictions, but note that it is the responsibility of any candidate who is invited to take up the Albi Rosenthal Fellowship to secure any necessary visa to enable the period of residence required in Oxford.
The Fellowship provides funds of up to £5,400 to enable a period of continuous residence in Oxford for three months, to be taken between October 2018 and April 2019.
The application deadline is 9 am GMT on Monday, 12 February 2018 (extended from 9 Feb).
