In January 2022, in partnership with the association Talents & Violon'celles, the Musée de la musique/ Philharmonie de Paris is organising an international instrument-making competition exclusively dedicated to the cello. Programmed at the same time as the 10th String Quartet Biennial, this event follows in the tradition of the many international instrument-making competitions that Paris has hosted.

Promoting contemporary excellence and developing future talents

Open to professionals as well as to students of instrument-making schools, the Talent Makers Instrument-making Competition is composed of two different parts organised in parallel:

Jury and Prizes

A jury composed of eminent musicians and personalities from the world of instrument-making will judge the craftsmanship of the participants as expressed by the instruments themselves and how they sound. Six prizes will be awarded to professionals, and three prizes will be awarded to students with one instrument joining the collection of facsimiles at the Musée de la musique. The finals and semi-finals will be organised as a real rendezvous with the public of the 10th String Quartet Biennial.

Avec Ouriana Lampropoulou

Apparu à la fin du XIXe siècle, le rebétiko est un genre musical mêlant des influences anatoliennes et occidentales à des éléments du folklore rural grec. Un de ses développements, le rebétiko du Pirée, principal port d’Athènes, est au cœur de cette master- classe. Sous la direction d’une virtuose de santouri, les participants apprennent quelques pièces de ce répertoire et abordent les mélodies fondées sur le système modal, le phrasé, les techniques d’accompagnements, les rythmes et enfin l’improvisation. Pour approfondir la pratique musicale, des documents audiovisuels montrant le contexte historique et social de l’époque sont communiqués.
