Funded by The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Embedded places a selection of composers from a range of disciplines into extended relationships with leading national arts organisations. Aimed at talented composers and creative artists at an early stage in their career, Embedded is a bespoke programme, providing practical hands-on experience and a range of significant creative opportunities. So far over thirty composers have benefited from Embedded, and there is overwhelming evidence that it can be a transformational experience in terms of talent development, artistic ambition, professional experience and growing networks. For more information about previous partners and composers involved, please see here. For our Winter 2014 Embedded residencies, we are delighted to announce two new partnerships with Quatuor Bozzini and South London Gallery. Quatuor Bozzini Since 1999, the Bozzini Quartet has been an original voice in new, contemporary, experimentaland classical music. Their skew is radically contemporary, propelling the hyper -creative Montréalscene, and beyond. Not content to parlay received wisdom, the quartet cultivates an ethos ofrisk-taking, and boldly venture off the beaten track. With rigorous qualitative criteria, they havenurtured a vastly diverse repertoire, unbiased by the currents of fashion.This has led to over a hundred and thirty commissioned pieces, as well as close to two hundred other premieredworks. A Bozzini Quartet concert is an art happening, with meticulous and sensuous attention todetail. The Bozzini Quartet produces and presents its annual concert series in Montréal. The groupalso tours extensively, bringing its “intense musicality and immense sensitivity” (Musicworks,Canada), to audiences across Canada, the US, South America and Europe.
