| Black Pencil are the winners of the Nieuw Geneco Fair Practice Award 2023 for their unbridled commitment and commitment to a fair and sustainable practice in new music. The award ceremony was held at the TivoliVredenburg music complex in Utrecht, Netherlands on September 8th, during the Gaudeamus Muziekweek. The jury consisted of Karmit Fadael (composer, board member and chairman Nieuw Geneco Young), David Dramm (composer) and Davo van Peursen (director Donemus Publishing). The jury used the following criteria for the selection process: • fair remuneration for composition assignments • respecting rights • clear communication and agreements • free artistic space for composers • sustainable development of audience, repertoire and performance opportunities • special impact on Dutch musical life and composers “Ensemble Black Pencil distinguishes itself by commissioning compositions year after year for their special and challenging line-up. With the project Into Space, Black Pencil gave various commissions to Calliope Tsoupaki, Arnoud Noordegraaf, Aart Strootman, Meriç Artaç, among others, in which Flevoland, Land Art and new music inspire each other, under the motto daring new land, daring new compositions. In the opinion of the jury, the project serves as an example of "think global, act local".” |
