PROGRAM

Pratiquer la musique d’aujourd’hui

After the success of the first edition, we are pleased to renew and perpetuate the Opus Erasmus event. For the second year in a row, our Conservatory of Music is hosting this fortnight-long event, featuring talented composers and dedicated teachers from Austrian, Italian, Turkish and French Conservatories, as well as inspired young musicians.

During various workshops and meetings, everyone will talk about the composer’s fluidity, the enjoyment of their writing, melodious arabesques and harmonious rhythms.

As for the concerts, they will serve to compliment a piece of music, an interpretation, and will naturally reflect the excellent instruction received throughout the fortnight.

This annual event is the perfect opportunity for young talented artists to make the most of their elders’ experience and guidance, and for the Boulogne audience to discover major works or more unfamiliar but just as remarkable pieces of music.

Don’t miss this outstanding event!

Pierre-Christophe BaguetMP and Mayor of Boulogne-Billancourt

President of Grand Paris Seine Ouest

This year, Opus Erasmus will welcome the participation of our colleagues from Eisenstadt, Naples and Istanbul. The programme isn’t about works especially written for Conservatories but will favour major works from a modern repertoire, which may be performed by our students. The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky was first played in the CNSM (National Superior Conservatory of Music) in Paris in 1971, and the CRR (Regional Conservatory of Music) of Boulogne-Billancourt played the Ascension by Olivier Messiaen for the first time in... 1983, in the presence of the composer.

Therefore, major works will be played by the students from the four schools: an excerpt from Licht, the opera “ the Seven Days of the Week” composed by Stockhausen and performed by Le Balcon chamber orchestra, Berio’s Folk Songs, Woven Words by Lutoslawski, and Six Bagatelles by Ligeti.

Workshops, meetings, and concerts will pack this fortnight-long event, around the theme “Practising contemporary music.” The 2012 Boulogne-Billancourt Educational Composition Competition will also take place during the fortnight and will be devoted to the solo voice, to percussion ensembles and youth orchestras.
