| | | | Graduate Student News
UVa Music Graduate Student and Jefferson Fellow Rachel Trapp is a finalist for the 21st orkest de ereprijs Young Composers Meeting in the Netherlands (http://www.ereprijs.nl/english/). Currently she is writing a piece for the ensemble, Pontifex, that they will play on February 28 at the Podium Gigant, Apeldoorn. The stated purpose of the festival is "to give young composers the opportunity to exchange ideas about contemporary music and at the same time being part of the learning process of composing with an ensemble at hand.” Rachel will be an artist-in-residence at STEIM in Amsterdam (March 2-6). STEIM (STudio for Electro-Instrumental Music) is an internationally-reknown research center for the creation of new electro-acoustic musical works. According to their website, "The foundation’s artistic and technical departments support an international community of performers, musicians, and visual artists, to develop unique instruments for their work. STEIM maintains a vibrant residency program whereby artists are provided with an artistic and technical environment in which concepts can be given concrete form. Ideas are catalyzed by providing critical feedback grounded in professional experience. Finally, new creations are then exposed to a receptive responsive niche public at STEIM before being groomed for a larger audience.” (http://steim.org/about/)
