On behalf of the International Music Institute Darmstadt, Search  
Journal would like to announce a call for applications for a new  
program during the Darmstadt Summer Courses this year. This Writing  
Workshop is designed for young authors in musicology and music  
journalism who focus on contemporary music. The official inclusion of  
young musicologist and music journalists to the community of young  
composers and interpreters is a very exciting development. We at  
Search hope that this will further encourage thoughtful discussion and  
writing about contemporary music in the international community in  
general. Please pass the word on to young musicologists and music  
journalists that might gain from such an opportunity. For further  
information, please see below or in the pdf attachment. Thank you.

Writing Workshop
within the

45th International Summer Course for New Music Darmstadt 2010

17 July to 31 July 2010

The International Summer Course for New Music Darmstadt launches in

2010 a project for the time that is addressed primarily to young authors

in musicology and music journalism. People who are interested should

focus on cotemporary music and the writing about this music. „Editors-
inchief“

are Stefan Fricke (Hessischer Rundfunk), Frank Hilberg

(Westdeutscher Rundfunk), Björn Gottstein (free lance author, Berlin),

and Richard Toop (Sydney University – bilingual teacher). The workshop

languages are german and english. In addition to the editors we will

welcome different representatives from (mainly) german newspapers,

radio stations and journals.

The International Summer Course for New Music seems to be an ideal

location to bring musicians (composers as well as performers),

musicologists and music journalists together. Two weeks – and more or

less round the clock – are a sufficient space of time for the  
different

areas, both their respective potentials and individual jurisdictions, to

communicate with one another. These encounters can produce

numerous journalistic results in the most varied formats, because the

Writing Workshop projected here does not content itself with theoretical

discourse, but primarily seeks to offer instructions for practical work.

These serve the purpose of training, but also the formation of internal

archives. The possibilities for using the experimental field of the  
Summer

Course as a practically oriented „emergency situation“ are as  
manifold

as the formats themselves, and can extend from daily editorial

conferences via the production of radio and Internet broadcasts to a

special course magazine. An own Writing Workshop Blog will

communicate the results of the daily work.

People who are interested can apply to the Summer Course on our  
website. The

admission fee allows of course the use of any other workshop, lecture,  
concert etc.
