​

Working face to face, a dozen new laureates from the 2019 Geneva competition and a few students from the solist Master Class of the HEM in Geneva. The Covid19 pandemic  prevented this meeting from taking place, even though it had been put off till September. The Geneva competition jury decided to innovate and suggested a Workshop on line from September 29th to November 1st 2020.

The contents of this e-Workshop was adapted to present circumstances and conditions; while maintaining its aims and values of the original version, it will concentrate on intensive and personal coaching on how to manage one’s career and will put special stress on the Internet and the audiovisual.

This alternative experience created for the participants will last a month and will include personal assessments, group programmes, individual interviews and autonomous work time. Many professional experts will take part in the workshop and the participants will find ressources at their disposal through an internet platform, created specially for this purpose. On the last day, the participants will be able to share their experiences and present their work. This final meeting will reinforce the idea of group work even though the e-workshop will be mainly run from a distance.

The participants must produce two personal projects, both separate and complementary ; their aim is to answer the main questions young musicians who are just starting out ask themselves and thus follow purpose of the workshop of the laureates of the Geneva ecompetition since it was created in 2017 :  how to manage one’s career and make a video capsule.

The Workshop is run by the Concours de Genève and its delegate producer, L’Agence de Concours,ProMusica. They both offer the participants renowned professional competence (artistic agencies, financial management, production, public relations, etc..) and many years of experience in organising events.
