As a part of the ECHO Academies Project, SFERA International has released an open call for 10 musicians to enroll in the ECHO Academy in Bitola, North Macedonia.
The 10 selected artists will research the ritual song heritage of the Bitola region, songs about the calendar cycle, life cycle, pagan holidays, and other traditional holidays, and as a result, develop music pieces.
Artists will get to visit music historians, attend celebrations that include traditional music, and meet with fellow musicians from Bitola in order to research and get inspiration for their work.
Hurry up! The deadline for the applications is set for July 8, 2023!
