Art schools are also music schools. But their sound practices are systematically very different from conservatory compositions. In collaboration with Hémisphère Son, Métaclassique begins the counter-history of music developed in art schools.

An encounter with three fine arts sound teachers: Thibault Walter at the Ecole Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne (ECAL), Alexandre Castant at the École Nationale Supérieur d'Art (ENSA) de Bourges and Catherine Gilloire at the École Supérieure des Beaux Arts (EBABX) de Bordeaux.

A Metaclassique program produced and directed by David Christoffel, in partnership with Hémisphère son.
