From 16 to 28 August 2010 the Atlas Ensemble organizes the second edition of the Atlas Academy at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
The Atlas Academy is a unique laboratory for the creation of new intercultural music.

Composers and musicians can apply to have a piece or experiment developed during the two weeks. The selected active composers will have the chance to write and work closely with musicians from all over the world in individual and group sessions.

Besides the laboratories, the Atlas Academy offers seminars, concerts and live demonstrations of instruments by international soloists.

Online registration is now open.
