Peter Eötvös, guest composer for Acanthes’ 25th anniversary, will preside over a special arrangement: three workshops with two musical ensembles, meeting the needs of the composers, the conductors and the composers whose pieces will be selected for performance.
The musical workshops will be based around the piano, flute and cello.
Acanthes 2001 will also be celebrating the Hungarian musical tradition. This is the “Year of Hungary in France”, so the Acanthes lectures and workshops will form part of official events. They will highlight the rich tradition represented by Peter Eötvös alongside Béla Bartók, György Ligeti and György Kurtág, continued today in the works of a new generation, which will be present in its diverse forms at the Chartreuse of Villeneuve-lez-Avignon
