Biennale College Musica | International Call

Selection for a program of residence, research and production of a new project for the 69th International Festival of Contemporary Music LA STELLA DENTRO, organised by La Biennale di Venezia
11-25 October 2025

The new international call for Biennale College Musica for the year 2025  is online, in accordance with the project developed by Director Caterina Barbieri, in close connection to the theme on the next Festival, which explores the idea of music as a form of cosmogony.

Biennale College Musica International Call 2024

Five composers and six performers under 30 from around the world will be selected for a programme of residency, research and production of new creations and performances that will premiere as part of the 68th International Festival of Contemporary Music of La Biennale di Venezia titled Absolute Music, to be held from September 26th to October 10th 2024.

International open call for two site-specific performances

The Biennale Teatro intends to promote the call for Site-Specific Performances under 40 again in 2024, in order to give voice and visibility to those working in the theatrical scene, thus remaining faithful to its formative mission.

This is a call for an unpublished performance work outdoors, in Venetian "campi" - places of everyday life in the lagoon - that will be identified by the artistic direction.

In this need to construct a performative gesture in the social perimeters of everyday life, the theatrical fact will be placed in vital spaces, reviving the sense of collectivity that art must be able to bring to its citizens.
