Trio Xenakis launches its Composition Academy
in partnership with the Fondation Singer-Polignac and the B.Record label!
Three prizewinners, selected on the basis of their applications, will be commissioned to write
a piece for percussion trio, and will be accompanied by the Xenakis Trio during three work
sessions at the Fondation Singer-Polignac, which will make its instruments and facilities
available for each session. The three works will then be premiered at the closing concert in
April 2026, and recorded on the B. Records label. Records, as part of the Trio's collection.
The aim of the three musicians is to meet and accompany a new generation of composers,
providing them with know-how and expertise in writing for percussion, while engaging in
contemporary creation.
During the various work sessions, the two composers Pedro Garcia-Velasquez and Yan
Maresz will contribute their experience and thoughts on writing for percussion.
