       Motocontrario organizes, within the Festival Contrasti 2021, an international composition masterclass held by Stefano Gervasoni, professor at the National Superior Conservatory of Paris and acclaimed as one of the most significant authors in the contemporary musical creation panorama.

         The masterclass, intended for composer students of all ages and nationalities, is scheduled along five days of work and includes two individual composition lessons for each effective participant, a public lecture given by Stefano Gervasoni and a day of reading session by Ensemble Motocontrario. The session will be dedicated to the scores (fragments or complete pieces) of the selected composers.

      A partnership will also be activated between Motocontrario and the Trento Conservatory F.A. Bonporti, in order to set up a concert dedicated to pieces by M° Gervasoni and to the new creations of the students of the masterclass within the 2021 edition of Mondi Sonori Festival in Trento. The concert, which will take place in October, will be performed by Motocontrario Ensemble.
