The GMEM hosts the first edition of the ARCO Summer University, the result of a partnership with the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg. The 2019 edition in Marseille will welcome twelve young composers whose scores will be worked on, rehearsed and performed by the Ensemble Multilatérale, Les Métaboles and the Tana Quartet. Regular guests of prestigious festivals in France and Europe, the performers reflect the ambition of this initiative. 

In addition to the two closing concerts where the works of the trainee composers will be premiered, two other moments will be proposed in the form of "musical walks" in the spaces of the residents of the Friche Belle de Mai. 

-
MON. JULY 8 AT 6:30 PM
Concert-promenade, Friche la Belle de Mai (departure at the Grand Tables) 

This first ARCO concert will take the form of a walk through the spaces and workshops of the Friche Belle de Mai. In each new venue, the listener will be able to discover emblematic works from the late 20th and early 21st century repertoire. The soloists of the Ensemble Multilatérale, the singers of the vocal ensemble Les Métaboles or the Tana Quartet will be delighted to surprise, seduce or even shake you up!
