guest-house for visiting composers. Both buildings are situated in the harbour of the medieval town of

Visby, with a magnificent view of the sea.

The three-storey Composers Hall houses two tenants, VICC and the Gotland School of Music Com-

position, (Gotlands Tonsttarskola ), established 1995.

Occasionally guests at the Centre are invited to give seminars at the school. If interested, please contact

the head of the school, Mattias Svensson tonis.exp@telia.com.

Piano Studio, are found on the ground floor. On the second floor you will find VICCs administration

(Executive Director and Studio Manager), two computer- and piano-equipped Notation Studios, a kitch-

enette and a reading-room (including TV, DVD and CD-player).

The Carlqvist Villa, the guest-house, has four private bedrooms (bed-linen and towels are supplied by

washing possibilities (washing-machine, tumbler dryer).
