The Luxembourg Composition Academy is a one-of-a-kind event in Luxembourg, offering eight young composers the opportunity to work with the musicians of United Instruments of Lucilin and renowned guest composers.
From 15 to 20 November, the participants take part in lectures, individual mentoring sessions and workshops led by composers Jessie Marino and Steven Daverson, as well as Bastian Zimmermann – director of the German contemporary music magazine Positionen.
