General informations about the program
Peter Eötvös Contemporary Music Foundation has announced a mentoring program for young professional conductors and composers for 2018, 2019 and 2020, and the period has been extended until 2023. Due to COVID-19 some mentoring concerts and workshops has been cancelled or postponed, or just held online for the mentees.
Leading professors of the program: Peter Eötvös (conductor, composer), Gregory Vajda (conductor, composer). For all working periods we are inviting renowned guest professors and musicians.
The main supporter of the program is Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne.
Peter Eötvös Foundation provides accommodation and travel costs for the selected composers and conductors. They can participate in the programs free of charge, as part of the mentoring program. The mentored composers and conductors will get the chance to have special consultations with orchestra managers, festival managers, communication specialists and they could also visit great concerts halls, opera houses and widen their professional network.
After the mentoring year, the conductors and composers have the possibility to showcase their work with a big orchestra, we have an ongoing cooperation with Pannon Philharmonic Orchestra, Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Danubia Orchestra (permanent orchestra partner of the foundation), Savaria Orchestra, Orchestra of Győr.
We welcome 1 or 2 conductors and 1 or 2 composers for each mentoring year.
