Young talented instrumentalists from all over the Mediterranean basin come together every year to build an ambitious concert programme and discover new ways to create as a group. At the heart of the symphonic sessions developed by the Festival d'Aix is its famous ‘collective composition’: exploring the conventional contours of the concert form, it celebrates the diversity of a composite Mediterranean identity, and is enriched by the meeting of young musicians from different musical cultures. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the beginning of this adventure, the Festival d'Aix is uniting several generations of artists who have passed through the Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée: their discussion will shed light on the history of this unique project, its core values, and the reason why it is so necessary in the crisis-stricken geopolitical context of today.
WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF: Evan Rogister (conductor - OJM concert, 20 July 2024), David Jackson (mentor - London Symphony Orchestra), Pauline Chaigne (OJM and Mediterranean programme deputy director), Anaëlle Couette (cellist - OJM), Sarra Douik (singer and oudist - OJM) and Hacene Zemrani (saxophonist - OJM).
