For the 2026 festival we are very excited to announce a residency collaboration with the ensemble NEKO3. 

Apply for the residency through: Open Call for Residency 

NEKO3 is a Copenhagen-based experimental trio consisting of pianist/performer Fei Nie and two percussionists/performers Lorenzo Colombo and Kalle Hakosalo.

From each country one composer will be selected for the residency program and one combined from the Baltic countries through the separate open call for the residency. 

Selected works will be workshopped in Copenhagen with the composers, ensemble members and mentors Jeppe Just Christensen and Søs Gunver Ryberg during the 26th to 30th of May 2026 and showcased as a part of the festival program in August 2026.
