Masterclass

About Masterclass

Music Biennale Zagreb presents a new edition of its masterclass for composers. The goal is to enable participants to enhance their creative understanding and refine their compositional skills through individual work with distinguished composers and open rehearsals with the festival ensemble.

The new edition of the MBZ Masterclass will take place from April 6 to 10, 2025, in Zagreb, Croatia. The mentor-composers will be some of the most productive and original composers of the 21st century: Liza Lim (Australia), Pierre Jodlowski (France/Poland), Mauro Lanza (Italy/Germany), and George Lewis (USA).

The resident ensemble will be the PinkNoise Ensemble from New York.

PinkNoise Ensemble

PinkNoise is a New York-based chamber ensemble dedicated to musical improvisation and compositions in acoustic and electronic mediums as a reaction and response to the conditions of our community and our society.

Each member of the ensemble is a performer, composer, and creator committed to inverting, translating, reflecting, and transcending the boundaries of both old and new music to present a kaleidoscopic range of performances that connect us to our sensibilities and conscience.
