Creating new work is an integral component of all the VICO's programming; it provides a necessary framework for bringing musicians and composers together to learn from each other, in a uniquely collaborative process. Our annual Sounds Global Composers' Workshop provides composers of all ages and levels with a unique opportunity to explore writing for intercultural ensembles in an open educational setting, in which VICO musicians, composers and educators provide them with hands on knowledge and guidance. Since we launched it 12 years ago, the Sounds Global program has led to the creation of about 100 works by composers from across the Canada, the US, UK, Poland, and Iran.We congratulate the 2023 cohort on the world premiere of their new works at this concert, held on July 1, 2023 at St. Andrew's United Church in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
