The aim of this trilateral collaboration is to create a musical work in the field of jazz with musicians from very different cultural, historical, social and political backgrounds.
The project leader “CCRD opderschmelz/City of Dudelange” appoints a project manager.
The 3 partner cities each propose 5 (five) musicians, from which the project leader chooses 2 (two) to form the whole project.
Then, the three partners also ask that work be carried out in the area during the creation time with the artistic material of the project in question.
Participatory component:
During the residencies taking place just before the respective festivals, a group of students from the local music conservatory will rehearse a few pieces with the “main ensemble” which they will present together on stage during the festival.
Short-term objective:
To present the “result” at the jazz festivals organised by the 3 project partner cities.
Medium-term objective:
Recording, mastering of the concert(s) for later release and broadcast.
Long-term objective:
To create the basis for a musical group that can continue to tour, change and renew itself in the future, while remaining true to the cultural, historical, social and political background of its members.
Realisation through artist-musician residencies:
A residency is a welcoming place for artists, whose primary purpose is to provide the residents with the conditions and resources to be bale to work.
The residency can host one or more artists to carry out research or creative work. Creation will be facilitated by the provision of a place to live and create, as well as financial, technical and human resources.
