Fenêtre sur cour[s] : Academy of Transcultural Music

Tickets and Info

Since 2021, the Royaumont Foundation has joined forces with the Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac Museum to launch a new Academy. It aims to bring together masters of tradition, “passeurs” and young composers, musicians, improvisers, singers from all horizons. Beyond the concepts of modernity and tradition, beyond even the cultures, the Academy proposes to discover or deepen a traditional practice from different cultural geographies and to experiment the process of transcultural creation. For this third edition, the Academy will be directed by the composer and percussionist Keyvan Chemirani (France / Iran), a true creator of musical bridges, with the multi-instrumentalist Efrén López (Spain) at his side. The two artists are both masters of tradition and passers-by: heirs to a traditional practice, they excel in the art of crossing musical languages. Come and meet these young artists at Royaumont, before their concert at the musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac.
