In this episode, Wioleta talks to composer Valerio Sannicandro about music, deconstructing the experience of listening and multiplying possibilities and paths of listening. Valerio also shares his thoughts on using image to help the listener to connect and access a musical composition.

1) Composition Mentorship Program
It is meant to address young or advanced composers who want to work actively on specific scores to enhance their technical skills. In particular, some aspect of the score notation that concern both the performer and conductor’s point of view will be deeply analyzed and discussed in a rather workshop-like way of working.
This is an experience to either prepare or be integrated with your academic studies.
