2025 Edition

From March 18 to 23 at the Atelier du Plateau in Paris and March 26 to 29 at the Opéra Underground in Lyon. Ten days during which the two groups of six cellists selected will be able to practice, discover, study, listen, exchange, share in the company Austrian cellist Katharina Gross, patron of this edition, Noémi Boutin, Vincent Courtois et Éric-Maria Couturier.

Masterclasses take place in the morning plus the afternoon and are followed each evening by a concert, for the interns to see and hear the cello in different stylistic contexts, and above all to insist on the need for continuity of the link between theory and practice.

First week: in Paris at the Atelier du Plateau

Cellomondo
Katharina Gross

The Cellomondo project was born from the idea of commissioning solo pieces from young composers from all over the world. Their works reflect both the richness of their origins and the expressive power of the cello as an instrument.

Transformation

Transformation explores the phenomenon of trance and the different states of consciousness. A cello and a voice are electrified and transformed live by a series of analog effects pedals controlled by the cellist and a chain or virtual delays spatialized around the audience.
