Francisco Coll has been announced as the inaugural Composer-in-Residence of the Palau de la Música and the Orchestra of Valencia, a position spanning the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons.
The residency will see the Orchestra of Valencia programme a number of existing pieces, as well as premiering a new symphonic work. Coll – a native of Valencia who now lives in Lucerne – will work with young composers, and will also advise the orchestra on new music programming in general. A CD recording documenting the residency is also planned.
