Composer in residency for the Eurochestries in France in 2012
I have the privilege to compose an orchestral piece for the Festival Eurochestries to be held in the Charente-Maritime in France in august 2012. I will also conduct the work at this festival together with the Quebec City’s festival in august as well. I would like to thank Mr Claude Révolte, president of the Férération des festivals Eurochetries, for his confidence. I have also a special thank for Mr Laurent Breton who made this possible thru his generosity.

Eurochestries, high level of international musical ensembles exchange
The Eurochestries were created in 1989 by Mr. Marcel CORNELOUP to promote orchestral practice of youth aged 15 to 25 years, through international exchange. The Eurochestries doesn’t bring together isolated instrumentalists but formed bands. Each year, young people are separated by languages, but united in the universal language of music. The Festival offers to each guest orchestra the opportunity to get discovered composers of his country and his own repertoire to a wide audience. Numerous concerts held in the department allow these young musicians to showcase their band and their country. On this occasion, they discover the heritage tourism of the host region.
