Featuring the Ensemble 2e2m and various guest artists, the festival provides a rich program of open rehearsals, workshops, lectures, and concerts. It is a unique opportunity to explore the inner workings of musical composition and acousmatic performance within a prestigious artistic environment.
The first edition of the Festival création takes place at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Paris, Ida Rubinstein site, across five days dedicated to contemporary musical expression.
