A Journey of Artistic Discovery Across Europe
ULYSSES JOURNEYS FOR COMPOSERS
Organised by Warsaw Autumn, Poland
Composition workshops are organised at all editions of the Warsaw Autumn Festival.
They offer composers the opportunity to consult with artists who visit Warsaw on the occasion of their works’ performance. The workshops consist of individual tuition with a single lecturer (maximum two), selected by the participant. Participants are also free to attend other tuition sessions.
The workshops are organised in cooperation with the Youth Circle, the young authors and scholars’ section of the Polish Composers’ Union, which unites almost all Polish composers and musicologists, as well as foreign authorities linked to Polish culture.
Besides the composition workshop, each edition of the Warsaw Autumn Festival includes open meetings with composers participating in each edition, focusing on issues of culture, art, and technology. Combined with the workshops, these meetings allow participants to build comprehensive general and specific knowledge.
This year Warsaw Autumn invites the following composers to lead the workshops: Pierre Jodlowski (September 22), Lidia Zielińska (September 23), Ewa Trębacz (September 26) and Franck Bedrossian (September 27).
Two young composers have been selected to attend the workshop and festival in the framework of their ULYSSES Journey: Nikolas Agrafiotis and Daniel Reza Sabzghabaei.
