Next week three EMCY Prize winners will play the Discover Music Tour, one activity of GIVE MUSIC A FUTURE project, co-funded by the culture program Creative Europe. The musicians will be: Zala Kravos (piano) prizewinner of Concours Luxembourgeois pour Jeunes Solistes (UGDA), Bobby Kostadinov prizewinner of Jugend Musiziert and Bernardo Moreno Quintas Aguiar prizewinner of Concurso Permanente de Juventudes Musicales de España.
The young musicians will begin with the practical introduction and preparation session with the experienced British audience developers Nigel Warrack and Susana Garcia and afterward will give outreach sessions and evening concerts in Luxembourg, Spain and Germany.
The activity will start in Luxembourg with a 5-days workshop at the UGDA Music School. They will be trained in chamber music executions and be introduced to the work with hard to reach groups. The musicians will be taught how to develop a repertoire of structured improvisation and short composed pieces, which can be used in outreach workshops with disadvantaged pupils. Afterwards the tour continues to Spain (Madrid) and Germany (Osnabrück, Iserlohn and Cologne).
The tour will build the capacities of the young musicians to approach a difficult-to-reach audience. It will widen their repertoire including contemporary pieces and they will learn to play in venues different then concert halls. The tour gives them the opportunity to internationalize their careers.
The Tour is organised in cooperation with UGDA Music School, Jeunesses Musicales Spain and the Flying Gorillas.
