In this course, Fabrizio Cassol, a world music enthusiast and a tireless intermediary invites a dozen young musicians from the Mediterranean countries, without any limitation on style. Together, they will broach the relationships between collective and individual expression, orality and musical writing, improvisation and composition, and the key concept of rhythmic harmony. Mutual listening, sharing and exchange is at the core of the creation process here. Musicians who are familiar with classical music but also with jazz and with the various musical traditions of the Mediterranean region have been selected to take part in this course. As an addition to its now traditional concert, the Mediterranean Youth Orchestra will perform on the 18th of July, and share with the audience the result of the collective creation process in a more intimate context, with creativity, improvisation, and Mediterranean musical traditions.
