Each year, Mixtur Festival invites to primary school students and teachers to approach contemporary music through own creations, improvisation, interaction with professional composers and performers, and participation in festival activities such as open rehearsals and concerts. This is done in partnership with with guest artists and educators and different pedagogical centres from Barcelona.

Two projects are planned for 2022:

• 7.10 Mixtur at primary school with ensemble via nova

Students from Terrassa’s Ponent Primary School attend a rehearsal of the piece Fünf by Johannes Hilderbrand, performed  by ensemble via nova.Teachers receive sound materials and didactic proposals to prepare for the rehearsal. During the preparation period, children engage in listening, analysis and sound experimentation. At the same time, questions are raised which are then discussed with the performers and/or the composer. The activity is coordinated by educator Assumpta Valls. Further information can be found here.

• 7.10 Concert Mixtur at primary school

Led by composer Agustí Charles and educator Assumpta Valls, this pedagogical project is addressed to students from Primary Schools El Solell in La Palma de Cervelló and Serralavella in Ullastrell, who create their own works based on the piece Border Zone by Agustí Charles. Read more here.
