The Du Vert à L’Infini Festival is thrilled to announce the call for participant composers for the upcoming 2025 PluComp Composition Summer Course. This unique opportunity is designed to revolutionize music composition by delving into non-Eurocentric perspectives, with a specific focus on Iran, Latin America, and North America for this year’s edition.
About the Program:
PluComp, short for Pluralist Composition, stands as a pioneering composition summer course that takes a fresh approach to music composition, shifting the focus from Eurocentric norms. In the upcoming edition, we’re honored to welcome distinguished resident composers Reza Vali and Shahab Paranj from Iran, Miguel del Aguila from Uruguay, and Ian Krouse, USA. These eminent composers will lead participants through a transformative journey, exploring various facets of music composition, including melody, rhythm, polyphony, form, and instrumentation.
Program Highlights:
Participant composers will engage in daily one-on-one composition lessons with each resident composer in addition to the seminars and discussions. This year’s seminar schedule includes:
Miguel del Aguila
Ian Krouse
Shahab Paranj
Reza Vali
As the festival unfolds, resident musicians rehearse participant’s pieces leading to a live performance and recording during a concert as an integral part of the Du Vert À l’Infini Music Festival.
Lectures will be given in English.
