Medinea Series

In addition to concerts’ recordings and various video reports on the network’s activities opening doors to Mediterranean music heritage, this page gives free access to the two series Professional Development for Artists and Instant Collective Creation by Fabrizio Cassol. Presented in several modules shot during the Medinea sessions taking place in different cities around the Mediterranean, and with subtitles available in Arabic, English and French, the series addresses young emerging artists from the Euro-Mediterranean region and beyond.

Instant Collective Creation

The examples provided in these modules are extracts from the Medinea sessions which take place in several different cities around the Mediterranean. This unique experience of collective composition sparks passionate insights and discussions and through these videos, we offer you an insight into certain aspects that are in direct relation with the need to create communal spaces for expression. Fabrizio Cassol, musical director of the Medinea sessions and pedagogical responsible for the series will be our guide in this journey. Through the different sessions and the guests artists he invited, Fabrizio Cassol shares his own particular approach on collective creation. Each module will raise young artists’ awareness of collective creation through a specific hook.

Professional Development for Artists

The series aims to provide a toolkit for young artists, giving them essential keys to kick start their musical career: activating your network, implementing an outreach action, communicating on social media or preparing your promotional toolkit are some of the subjects discussed in the videos. Our speaker Christiane Louis, Head of Career Development Unit at the Philharmonie de Paris, join the Medinea sessions to coach the musicians on career development on site while we document her advice for the greatest number!

At the end of each Medinea session, the audience is invited to listen to the musicians’ creations. Here are the recordings of some of the concerts.
