acanthes@ircam

The composition workshops are intended for young composers who wish to complete a new work, taking advantage of the experience and advice from guest composers and performers throughout the work sessions and rehearsals.

All works in creation will be recorded and given to the composers. Certain will be selected by the educational team to be presented during a concert open to the public.

Conditions

Age: These workshops are open to composers born after July 1, 1977.

Composers can not take part in the Composition Workshops two consecutive years. They may, however, take part in as many of the activities offered by acanthes@ircam as an auditor.

Composers’ applications dossiers for the Composition Workshops will be examined by a reading panel made up of guest instructors whose decisions are final.

The directors of acanthes@ircam, in agreement with the instructors responsible for each workshop, have the right to dismiss a score if it can not be realized during the work sessions.
