Summer 2026
Concert tour: Bangkok International Symposium
Project period:
1 preliminary rehearsal in Cologne in June,

The annual international symposium at the Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music offers a valuable platform for exchange and further development in the field of new music and is already contributing to the long-term establishment of our collaboration with Studio Musikfabrik.
Two musicians, oboe (already filled) and cello, will have the opportunity to travel to Thailand in August with Peter Veale, artistic director of Studio Musikfabrik. Participation is particularly aimed at musicians who have already taken part in Studio Musikfabrik projects or who are applying for both calls for applications in the second half of 2026.
The program is still to be decided.
Who can apply? Cello
Applications can be submitted until May 20, 2026.
