ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

Plurisons Festival is an international music festival dedicated to musical creation and new practices in the field of concert music. Created in 2022, the festival aims to offer a space for dissemination, practice and reflection on new practices in the field of contemporary music creation, through dialogues and co-creation processes between performers, composers and researchers from different countries . Over the first two editions, the festival premiered around 30 works, and presented artists from France, USA, Switzerland, England, Argentina, Germany, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, as well as Brazilian artists from all regions of the country. Thus, the Festival offers a panorama of contemporary production, allowing the discovery of new works and the most recent proposals in the field of musical creation.

Now in its third edition, the Plurisons Festival takes on a new look, and is now being held in Belo Horizonte in collaboration with the Artistic Education Foundation (FEA). As in the first editions, the 2024 program includes concerts, educational activities and lectures, aiming to reach a broad audience of young professionals, artists linked to the sound field and the general public. The pedagogical part of the event aims to contribute to the inclusion of emerging artists, performers and composers, as well as introducing new audiences, enabling young people to have practical contact with musical creation. To this end, the event will offer classes and concerts for young artists interested in musical creation, musical improvisation, interpretation of contemporary repertoire, as well as work for composers at a more advanced stage. All activities try to integrate young musicians with the guests, offering the experience of working alongside already renowned artists. Enriching its program, starting with this edition, the Plurisons Festival opens a new workshop aimed at introducing musical creation, aiming to attract young people interested in discovering new musical processes and works, in addition to a workshop dedicated to writing and musical analysis.

In addition to the educational events, the highlight of the event's program is the series of concerts with national and international guests, offering a vast panorama of contemporary musical creation, including new repertoires and new practices. This year the event will have Fernanda Navarro, Rogério Vasconcelos, Felipe de Almeida Ribeiro, as guest composers, in addition to the Spanish ensemble Vertixe Sonora, the Brazilian trumpeter Flávio Gabriel, the French guitarist Rémy Reber and, of course, the Ensemble Plurisons itself.
