The course is aimed primarily at young composers (selected by open call), which will be headed by a renowned guest composer.
Structured in three meetings of three days each (intensive working days: from 10 to 14 and 16 to 20 hours), selected composers as ACTIVE Participants will develop a composition project supervised by the guest composer, with the BARCELONA MODERN ENSEMBLE as permanent resident ensemble, and the VERTIXE SONORA ENSEMBLE as guests ensemble, at the disposal of students for reading sessions, workshops, rehearsals and concerts.
Selected composers from among the LISTENERS Participants will have a reading session with one of the ensembles or soloists of the course, also supervised by the guest composer as well as unlimited access to all course activities.
Course activities include individual and collective masterclasses given by the guest composer, lectures by the participants, guest speakers, instrumental workshops by the musicians of the ensembles, guest ensembles and soloists, reading sessions, open rehearsals and concerts.
The activity finishes with the premiere, in a public concert (live or streaming), of the works composed by the selected composers –as Active Participants- throughout the course.
