Announcing the 2012 Etchings Festival!

This year’s Etchings festival will take place from July 7th-14th at the Moulin a Nef in Auvillar, France.
We are proud to invite composers Philippe Hurel and George Tsontakis as our guest composers. Both Hurel and Tsontakis will chair masterclasses, teach private lessons and coach rehearsals of participant works.
We are also fortunate to have the core members of L'arsenale in residence, including composer and conductor Filippo Perocco.
Both L’arsenale and resident ensemble ECCE will collaborate on three festival concerts, providing a rare opportunity for participants to compose for diverse and distinctive forces.
The Etchings Festival is a partnership with the VCCA. The festival aims to provide participants with the opportunity to study with international guest artists and have their music professionally recorded.
