Valencia, Spain
The third year of the Composition Program at the Valencia International Performance Academy will showcase
the music of emerging and established composers and offer qualified composition program participants the
opportunity to work with VIPA Composition Program faculty members and featured guest composers in
lessons, workshops and masterclasses. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to work with and
have one piece performed by our resident performers at one of the VIPA concerts. Resident ensembles include
the critically-acclaimed Mivos Quartet, Ensemble Interface, Smash Ensemble, B3:Brouwer Trio, and flute
soloist Erik Drescher. VIPA will also offer workshops on contemporary instrumental techniques and notation,
