Open Call for the 4th Hashtag Ensemble PRO Academy 2026–27

Hashtag Ensemble invites artists to participate in the "PRO Academy" masterclasses - a year-long mentoring program designed for instrumentalists and conductors, including students, music academy graduates, and professional musicians active in Poland. Classes will be held at Hashtag Lab and led by musicians from one of Poland's leading new music ensembles. Participation is free of charge, and participants are selected through an online competition based on submitted audio-video materials and applications. The deadline for submissions is June 30, 2026.

"PRO Academy" is an intensive artistic development program that combines individual mentorship, concert experience, and participation in educational events. Under the guidance of Hashtag Ensemble musicians, participants will expand their performance skills in 20th- and 21st-century repertoire, including extended techniques and contemporary practices of interpretation. The program also includes participation in the ensemble's concerts during the 2026–27 artistic season.

A key element of the Academy are seminars and lectures conducted by invited guests — specialists in the field of new music. The program creates a space for exchanging experiences, networking, and working within an artistic collective.

The program is scheduled to launch in September 2026 and will run through the end of the 2026/2027 artistic season.

Hashtag Lab Contemporary Music Centre is co-financed by the City of Warsaw. 

Media patron of the Hashtag Lab Contemporary Music Centre: Polish Music Information Centre POLMIC.
