Accent09 is a chamber music festival offering internationally recognized

by daily private lessons, classes and orchestra rehearsals. Ensembles
and groups are arranged by level as well as by age. We welcome pre-formed ensembles. This one-week
intensive program is opened by a faculty concert, and showcases its participants
with concerts at the end of the week. Daily master classes, and concerto
competitions provide further performance opportunities. Accent09

Music09
June 15-22, 2008
Music09 is a unique and intensive new music festival which will take place at the prestigious Hindemith Foundation Music Center in Blonay, Switzerland. The premier American ensemble eighth blackbird will be joined by principal composers Chen Yi, Frederic Rzewski and Joel Hoffman, all of whom
will be working with an invited group of young composers and instrumentalists, both advanced students and young professionals. Upon acceptance, composers will be assigned specific ensembles and will write pieces for the festival which will be rehearsed, performed and recorded in Blonay by a variety of ensembles. Each ensemble will consist of a member of eighth blackbird along with a carefully selected group of young instrumentalists. Concurrently, the instrumentalists will prepare and perform works by the three principal composers. This repertoire will be performed in a series of concerts throughout the festival in Blonay and surrounding locations.
