Tremplin / Cursus 2

The annual Tremplin series, created in 2004, supports the emergence of young composers.

Selected by a jury, these artists from the four corners of the globe have the possibility of working with the musicians from the Ensemble intercontemporain or studying at IRCAM during the second year of the Cursus program for computer music. The results of this laboratory are found in the Tremplin concerts where the creations of young composers are performed together with works from the youth of their elders, in this case, the Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg. Now with worldwide renown, Lindberg shook up the beginning of the 1980s with the fierce, energetic, malleable expression of his music.
