Support the Performer-Composer Residency: a leading edge international program welcoming performer-composers from across the globe in the creation of brand new collaborative works that reflect global perspectives through music.
The 2023 PERFORMER COMPOSER RESIDENCY runs June 18-25, 2023. Visit www.westben.ca/pcrevents
Background of the PCR: Instead of traditional teacher-student models or predetermining music genre boundaries, the PCR celebrates a wide range of musical practices, ages, and cultural backgrounds in a supportive peer-driven environment. Since 2018, Westben has welcomed 156 performer-composers from Canada and over 24 other countries, both digitally and in person. Now back on the Westben grounds for this 6th iteration, the PCR is thrilled to continue a weeklong experience of nurturing original music-making while trying to responsibly engage with the land around us that makes this all possible. Hope to see you there!
