The Mixtur Festival has a great commitment to promoting new sound creation. In each edition, the Mixtur selects some of the participants of the Composition and Sound Experimentation Workshop to compose and premiere small works -Miniatures- that they work with the teachers of the workshop and with the performers who will premiere them during the festival. The Ensemble Sillages will premiere five of these miniatures by two male and female composers participating in the Mixtur 2024 Sound Composition and Experimentation Workshop.
