American composer Charles Griffin will be one of the Directors of New Music Incubator Latvia, to be held at Jurnieka Ligzda “Seamen’s Nest” Hotel in Liepaja, Latvia from June 8 through 13. The program, for composers, performers and sound artists, is presented with funding from Nordic Culture Point, and the Swedish Music Information Centre.

17 musicians and composers and new media artists, coming from Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden and Denmark will come together for a week of creative experimentation where the lines between composition, improvisation and performance become blurred as new pieces are collaboratively created and premiered daily. Other New Music Incubator Latvia directors are Martin Q. Larsson and Patrik Karlsson.
