LIVE SPACE #3 Closing concerts of the international creative workshop

Location: Sodas 2123 (Vitebsko str. 21)

The LIVE SPACE project coordinated by the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre is an international creative workshop designed to offer training for performers and creators of electronic and electroacoustic music, addressing the demands of the changing society. The main focus of the project is on equipping participants with the skills and practical knowledge necessary for creating and performing electroacoustic music in different spaces with different 3D audio setups. It emphasizes the development of artistic projects and co-creation, exploring the role of musicians as contributors to society and cultural landscapes.

LIVE SPACE is structured to accommodate the open, creative nature of participants from diverse artistic backgrounds. The workshop aims to blend different skills pertinent to electronic and electroacoustic composers/performers. Over eight days in Vilnius, students from participating institutions have the opportunity to make use of hands-on learning and to perform in various venues across the city engaging with different contexts and spatial audio environments. Performances are designed to facilitate mutual support and co-creation among students.

Participating schools for this year include the Royal Danish Academy of Music (Copenhagen), the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (Tallinn), the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts in Helsinki (Finland), Oulu University of Applied Sciences (Finland), the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (Vilnius), the Norwegian Academy of Music (Oslo), the Grieg Academy of Music of the University of Bergen (Norway), the Academy of Music and Drama of the University of Gothenburg (Sweden), and Malmo Academy of Music (Sweden).

The LIVE SPACE concerts on April 27 and 28 will showcase the outcomes of these creative projects. Students’ works will be presented in five different locations, allowing for a diverse range of engaging performances. These concerts will not only serve as a platform for student presentations but also as a venue for discussion, evaluation, and reflection among peers and teachers.
