GENERAL PROGRAMME (face to face workshop)
The workshop will take place from October 6 to October 9 (Workshop A) and from October 13 to October 16 (Workshop B) and will include the following activities:
- An individual class with a resident composer for participants in workshop A or B. Participants in workshops A and B are entitled to two individual classes.
- Instrumental or electroacoustic experimentation:
- Instrumental: reading session with a performer or ensemble (Mixtur will assign the instrument/s to each participant). Finished works, fragments of pieces or works in process will be accepted, as well as improvisation works proposals with or without score. The framework of a reading session isn’t a concert performance as the aim is to work with professional musicians and encourage the exchange of ideas.
- Electroacoustic: electroacoustic piece spatialisation (max. 8 channels).
- Open Space where participants will be able to introduce their work to the rest of participants.
- Master class and lectures by Mixtur resident composers and performers and other artists.

GENERAL PROGRAMME (online)

- Reading Session: Mixtur will assign a professional instrumentalist. (It is recommended to prepare specific questions as well as written examples that you may like to try to have productive feedback from the performer).
