Progetto Positano

With works by this year's scholarship holders Jack Sheen and Ricardo Eizirik.

PROGETTO POSITANO is a scholarship for young composers launched by the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation in collaboration with ensemble mosaik in 2017.

Each year, two scholarship holders are invited to live and work for a month at the Casa Orfeo of the Wilhelm Kempff Cultural Foundation in Positano on the Italian Amalfi Coast.

Following the residency in Italy, ensemble mosaik will present the works of the two composers created as part of the scholarship program in a double portrait concert in Berlin: Jack Sheen presents a site-specific performance installation. A fragile, teeming ecosystem balanced on a knife-edge between stillness and movement, where the real-time decisions of the performers, the movement of the audience, and the space itself become unpredictable forces acting upon the music. Ricardo Eizirik explores the physical and social perception of sound, creating an experiential space for experimental sound exploration.
