Winner work of Ibermusicas 2022 – Composition and Premiere

“Echoes from a near future” was awarded with Premio Ibermúsicas – Composition & Work Premiere.

“With the aim of promoting the creation of new works and at the same time making their premiere possible, Ibermusicas designed this contest in which eight works by eight Ibero-American artists presented by eight ensembles from the neighbouring country are awarded. The award includes the premiere of the winning works by ensembles or groups from designated countries, other than those of the nationality of the composer. This was thought with the purpose of supporting the growth of a network that links creation, interpretation and cooperation between our countries.

The jury composed by Hilda Paredes from Mexico, Leonardo Martinelli from Brazil and Cergio Prudencio from Bolivia worked hard to choose the XX winning works from among the 28 submitted to the contest. The jury highlighted the extremely high artistic level of a large part of the works submitted to the competition. All the works were chosen by absolute consensus among the three members of the jury.” (Ibermúsicas, 2022)

The work “Echoes from a near future” was composed for the Sigma Project Quartet (ES) and it will be premiered in 2023.
