This is the course for you if you believe that musicians are versatile artists and loyal citizens who want the art they passionately endorse to reach the masses, and that their ability to interact with audiences – no matter if they’ are newcomers, youngsters or remote – is both asset and source of mutual benefit!

With this in mind, the Académie du Festival d’Aix has designed outreach skills workshops to address issues surrounding the transmission, introduction and exploration of music for young and remote audiences through creativity and interaction.

The workshops use a creative process of experimentation and improvisation for singers and musicians from all backgrounds and musical genres (classical, jazz, current and traditional music, etc.). The idea is to help these musicians find employment as well as to fuel their personal quest for excellence and their drive to share their art. Young artists have the chance to put what they have learnt into practice with field projects in partnership with Passerelles, the Festival’s educational and outreach department.
