| Académie Ravel Session 202326 August – 9 September ______________ Call for applications |
| The Académie Ravel welcomes you from 26 August to 9 September 2023 in Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Ciboure, in the Basque Country, in the composer’s native land. Over the course of its 50 years of existence marked by the arrival of the greatest artist-teachers, the Academy has accompanied several generations of young musicians who are now at the top. It is now an integral part of the new Ravel Festival project, a major event in the French and international musical calendar. The tradition of public master classes, deeply rooted in history, is perpetuated with a number of participants reduced to 6 per class. Each student will receive a minimum of 8 hours of teaching over the period, in addition to the public master classes. The proposed repertoire must include at least one piece from the French repertoire and one contemporary piece (written since 1970) in addition, of course, to works from the traditional repertoire. This year again, the faculty of professors is prestigious. All these great musicians are associated with one or more international institutions and participate in the juries of the most important competitions. The composer Michael Jarrell, an international figure in contemporary creation, will preside over the Maurice Ravel Academy of Composition, which was successfully inaugurated in 2021. Exceptional public master classes by Renaud Capuçon and the Jerusalem Quartet will mark the two weeks. The ”Young Talents” concerts will be part of the Festival programme, notably on the occasion of a weekend dedicated to the Academy. “Cross-over” concerts will bring together young performers and guest artists. Many donors join our action by offering prizes, concerts and scholarships to the participants. In addition to the traditional endowments, this year, a special ”Régis Pasquier” prize will be awarded to a violinist. The programming of many concerts during the 2023-24 season, in conjunction with numerous regional partners, will also reinforce our mission of supporting young talents. Come and join the great family of the Festival and its Academy, and discover the bewitching beauty of Ravel’s homeland. Jean-François Heisser & Bertrand Chamayou |
