Circle of music creation and composition

Circle of music creation and composition

For yet another year, the Contemporary Conservatory of Athens announces the formation of a music creation and composition circle for adults. Creators with a simple theoretical interest in the subject, or those interested in composing their first piece, songwriters, composers, are all invited to apply. During
the previous cycles, a core group of creators emerged, who composed new pieces, analyzed classical and other works, repertoire, improvised, and discussed, among other things, issues of orchestration, morphology, aesthetics, and the history of musical art. Above all, within the framework of a group that was in constant open dialogue, they developed their creative process and their personal musical tools, which is the main objective of the cycle
of musical creation and composition. The meetings will take place for 2 hours each week.
At the end of the cycle, a certificate of attendance will be awarded.

Duration of cycle: 10/2025 – 05/2026
Instructor/supervisor: Nikos Galenianos
