Interested, or know someone who might be a good fit?
Send us a message! And please share!
Starting our new series of video encounters with Creative Dialogue alumni, faculty, and friends ✨
First up is mezzo-soprano Ema Nikolovska (@nikolovska.ema ) sharing her reflections on the 2019 workshop in Finland, and how it continues to shape her artistic life today.
“What I was most moved by was this spirit of curiosity, exploration, and challenge – challenging yourself.”
Thank you, Ema, for your friendship, music, and ever-inspiring dialogues đź’«

âť• Creative Dialogue 2.0 âť•
We teamed up with @summeracademyvoksenasen@balticseafest@finlandsinstitutet to reunite alumni performers of Creative Dialogue and four young composers.
Some weeks ago we workshopped new works in Oslo. Last night they were premiered in Stockholm.
