The Cultural Stories program of the Delegation of the European Union serves as additional platform for EU Member States Embassies, European art, values and heritage to be presented to local audiences. Similarly to previously organized activities as part of the Cultural Stories program, a new concept entitled European Contemporary Composers has been developed. The project is implemented in close cooperation with the Embassies of EU Member States in the country, the Composers’ Association of Macedonia (SOKOM), Music ensemble “Con Tempora” and prominent musicologist and member of SOKOM, Ms Branka Kostic-Markovic, as a partner and coordinator of the project. The main goal of the European Contemporary Composers Project is to promote the European culture, but also to contribute to development of new professional skills of domestic cultural operators, emerging cultural and creative industries, offering new business models, etc. These series of events will present leading contemporary European composers through concerts of their works, master classes for students, discussions with domestic composers and professionals, and lectures for wider audience, aiming to promote the European contemporary art music and also to contribute to the development of new professional skills among the domestic musicians and cultural operators.
