De International Young Artist’s Presentation (IYAP) geeft jonge vocale en instrumentale artiesten en ensembles een duwtje in de rug op de internationale scène van de historische muziekpraktijk. De geselecteerde artiesten en ensembles worden intensief begeleid en gecoacht door één of meerdere gerenommeerde artiesten. Bovendien krijgen ze een podium tijdens het oude muziekfestival Laus Polyphoniae in Antwerpen en de kans zich te presenteren aan een internationaal comité met vertegenwoordigers uit de muziekwereld.

Sinds 2015 komen niet enkel historische maar ook hedendaagse interpretaties en interdisciplinaire projecten in aanmerking. De nieuwe formule van de IYAP wil jonge ensembles uitdagen om een origineel programma samen te stellen. We zullen hen ook uitnodigen om na te denken over de manier waarop ze zich presenteren richting een publiek (bv. met een toegankelijk programmaboek, met toevoeging van extra elementen als dans, beeld, …)

Begindatum:
dinsdag 16 augustus 2016
Einddatum:
zondag 21 augustus 2016

Locatie:
AMUZ
Kammenstraat 81

The International Young Artist’s Presentation (IYAP) is a coaching and presentation format for young talented musicians or ensembles playing historical instruments or taking on historical sources. We challenge musicians as well as ensembles to present an innovative and original programme. We encourage experimentation with presentation formats and creative approaches.

Concept

Coaching sessions – led by Peter Van Heyghen – are one of the most essential elements of the International Young Artist’s Presentation. We provide feedback on the concept and approach from very early on in the process, and later the artists receive musical coaching from international experts. After coaching, the ensembles perform at historical locations in Antwerp during the Laus Polyphoniae festival. Many Belgian and international organizers are present at these concerts and at the networking event that closes the IYAP.

The selected ensembles will be promoted by the IYAP organizers. They will be honoured with the title “IYAP Selected Promising Ensemble 2016”.

Festival Laus Polyphoniae

The International Young Artist’s Presentation is a part of the Laus Polyphoniae festival. We welcome proposals with a connection to the yearly festival theme, although this is not an obligatory requirement. The Laus Polyphoniae festival theme in 2016 is MORS. In the 14th century, Europe was ravaged by countless disasters and misfortune: the Battle of the Golden Spurs, the Hundred Years’ War and the plague epidemic claimed millions of lives. However the 14th century was also an extremely productive time in the arts. Laus Polyphoniae takes you on a ten-day exploration of the musical richness of the century of the Black Death.
