Composers+ Summer Academy - Lithuaniaby Harley Jones |
Composers up to 36 years and accordionists up to 36 years are invited to the Composers+ Summer Academy — the international event which began in 2014 as a small composers camp in the village of Palendriai (Lithuania) at St Benedict’s Monastery. Now in its fourth year, this young and unique course has not only changed location to the exciting and attractive venue of Raudondvaris Castle near Kaunas but it has also renamed itself as the Composers+ Summer Academy. Dates: 18-26 August 2017 Application deadline: 7 July 2017 Price: Euro 200 The main focus of the Composers+ Summer Academy is to produce new works for accordion, both as a solo instrument and with chamber ensemble. Artistic Director Martynas (picture right) writes: "This year I am proud and happy to welcome Prof. Iñaki Alberdi (picture left) as one of the Academy tutors. Iñaki Alberdi will be leading the masterclasses for accordionists and is one of the most prominent and active modern accordion music performers and initiators worldwide. The course will also provide tuition by composer Dr. Ruta Vitkauskaite and young British composer Ben Lunn — both keen advocates of contemporary accordion music. As usual, the event will host a cycle of concerts alongside the educational activity, including performances of the world premieres of many of the works created during the Composers+ Summer Academy. These new pieces will also be printed and published by the event organiser, PI accoAkademija in Lithuania." For further information email: ask@composersplus.com or Phone: +370 621 62222 |
