Motocontrario organizes, within the Festival Contrasti 2022, an international composition masterclass held by Pierluigi Billone, acclaimed as one of the most significant authors in the contemporary musical creation panorama.
The masterclass, intended for composer students of all ages and nationalities, is scheduled along four days of work and includes two individual composition lessons for each effective participant, a public lecture given by Pierluigi Billone, a class held by Federico Tramontana on M ° Billone’s percussion music and a day of reading session by Ensemble Motocontrario. The session will be dedicated to the scores (fragments or complete pieces) of the selected composers.
A partnership will also be activated between Motocontrario and the Trento Conservatory F.A. Bonporti, in order to set up a concert dedicated to the new creations of the students of the masterclass within the 2022 edition of Festival Mondi Sonori Festival in Trento. The concert, which will take place in October-November, will be performed by Motocontrario Ensemble.
