The times we are living in have a painful impact on culture as well as education. Transmission has always been the strength of contemporary music: exchange, sharing, humanism. Today, we must resist in front of the implacable loneliness imposed by the pandemic and act, in solidarity, for the sustainability of our practice, to continue to live and reflect, together. This collective action arose out of the urgency of this situation.

The Solidarity Composition Courses will offer free composition courses from January 18th to 22th 2021, online, for the most vulnerable composers and musicians around the world. We would like to warmly thanks Philippe Manoury, Lara Morciano, Mauro Lanza, Dmitri Kourliandski, Colin Roche, Antoine Maisonhaute and Max Bruckert for their presence in this first edition and their humanity.
