29 March 2024
Workshop: 14:30-16:30
Concert: 17:00

This is a workshop designed for musicians of all rangers and styles with and without formal education, amateurs & professionals. Improvisers and/or composers, etc. The workshop is structured around Ignacio Córdoba's composition titled FOCUS, which is made to rethink music from a magical, inspiring and liberating space. In it sound becomes a glue that unites the instructions of a game in which freedom is not a value but a malleable and magnetic element. The form of FOCUS is the result of the internal politics of the participants. 
In the workshop, the composition will be performed and analyzed by the students with Ignacio and and at the end the participants will present the result in a concert open to the public.

To join the workshop please send an email to info@zaratan.pt
The participation is free.

Ignácio Córdoba's residency at Zaratan is supported by Culture Moves Europe, a project funded by the European Union.
