The first International Composition Masterclasses ‘Ciutat de Palma’ aim to offer a varied and exciting musical experience. There are a number of activities throughout the course; individual coaching, ateliers, conferences, round tables, sound installations, daily concerts, electroacoustic music sessions, and workshops. Above all, we guarantee a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere for composers, performers and cultural agents to meet and share their ideas on music.
At the Mallorca Summer Academy we strive to discover and further develop new ideas about music education. Therefore, the International Composition Masterclasses ‘Ciutat de Palma’ proudly works in partnership with the ME_MMIX Festival; a professional platform also offered to every one of our students. |
