Do you want to hear what the concert halls of the future will sound like? At the Baltic Sea Festival you will meet the participants in Arts Lab – a project that unites promising musicians and composers from the Nordic region in a creative collaboration. The participants are handpicked from Voksenåsen’s Talent Program and Creative Dialogue and are coached by world-leading mentors.

During an intensive period of workshops, these young talents explore their music-making through technical and artistic challenges. With dialogue, trust and a desire to experiment, they create new expressions and develop their craft. ARTS LAB is an exclusive opportunity to hear these voices take shape.

Creative Dialogue was started in 2007 by Anssi Karttunen, Kaija Saariaho and Magnus Lindberg. With the project, they wanted to create a unique opportunity for their younger colleagues to develop their music-making. Creative Dialogue is a platform for young musicians and composers to inspire each other through improvisation, communication and mentorship. Participants are invited on the recommendation of teachers from all over the world.

Voksenåsen’s Talent Program offers young musicians a year of tailored development through mentorship, workshops and concerts. The program provides tools and networks for a sustainable career in classical music. Voksenåsen’s artistic directors are Peter Herresthal, Randi Stene and Andreas Sundén.
