This was the original concept for these International Meetings of Mirecourt. The aim is to gather on a yearly basis, musicians, violin- and bow-makers, as well as to celebrate French music of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries and finally to discover and promote new talents. These meetings are split into two great events in alternation each year: an international violin contest and a festival. Master classes, concerts and conferences are some of the outstanding moments which enable participants to transmit and share their knowledge and experience. The 2013 International Musical Meeting will welcome 9 european artists who will reside in Mirecourt from 19th to 24th November to discover and share the most famous pages of French music beside rare compositions : Chausson, Debussy, Fauré, Milhaud, Poulenc, Samazeuilh, Ravel will resonate in Mirecourt. The contemporary composer Edith Canat de Chizy will be honored through a creation and interpretation of many pieces of chamber music. Her piece « Siloël » for string orchestra will drive a priviledged meeting with music teachers of the Music school of Mirecourt and stringed- instruments making students. Therefore, 2013 will highlight over the borders the diversity and wealth of an often unknown register of music. This year will also reinforce the link between artists and violin makers in Europe and Mirecourt. The Sense of the Meeting by Martine Jung President This project was designed for Mirecourt regarding it’s world knowed Heritage and where since the 18th century the most famous violin makers are originated from, where still today new generations of violin makers are trained and finaly due to it’s economic activity linked to both violin and bow making. It was like an evidence that unique synergies could happen nowhere else than Mirecourt: meetings between young instrument creators and those who wake them up when playing them, connection of young violin making students with famous masters through the instruments carried by the virtuosi who are their gardiens, union of the 4 essential et supplementary ingredients that are violin- and bow- makers, composers and musicians, contacts between young musicians and virtuosi,… Rare intimacy and unvaluable experience driven by these exchanges are the kind of things we wish to promote through the International Meetings of Mirecourt to enable anyone to grow thanks to close contacts with the others and to reinforce worldwide and through the ages the gleam of Mirecourt, place of exception. http://rencontresmusicalesmirecourt.e-monsite.com The 5th International Meetings of Mirecourt 9 artists will reside in Mirecourt from 19th to 24th Novembre 2013 Tuesday 20th and Thursday 21st November, 6pm to 9pm – Music School of Mirecourt Master Classes Friday 22nd November, 3pm to 5pm – National Stringed-Instruments Making School The artists residing in Mirecourt meet with the students and teachers Friday 22nd November, 8:30pm – Cinema Rio Free verse to Yann Dubost Scelsi Le Réveil profond Canat de Chizy Danse de l'aube Chauris Ripples I Vasks Bass Trip Rossini Duetto for Cello and double-bass Canat de Chizy Siloël for string orchestra Bottesini Big Duo for violin, double-bass and orchestra Saturday 23rd November, 3pm – Cinema Rio Conference Canat de Chizy, illustrated by Canat de Chizy Falaises, String Quintet and Tiempo, String Trio Saturday 23rd November, 4pm – Cinema Rio Canat de Chizy En bleu et or for Viola and Piano Françoise Gnéri and Silke Avenhaus Samazeuilh Fantaisie Elégiaque Poulenc Sonata Marianne Piketty and Dana Ciocarlie Milhaud Visages Op.238 La Californienne, The Wisconsonian, La Parisienne Françoise Gnéri and Silke Avenhaus Saturday 23rd November, 6pm – Cinema Rio Ravel Sonata for Violin and Cello Christian Altenburger and Patrick Demenga Canat de Chizy Formes du vent Ophélie Gaillard Chausson Quatuor in A major Op.30 Christian Altenburger, Françoise Gnéri, Patrick Demenga and Silke Avenhaus Saturday 23rd November, 8:30pm – Cinema Rio Ravel Ma mère l’Oye Dana Ciocarlie and Silke Avenhaus Fauré Elégie Poulenc Sonata for cello and piano Ophélie Gaillard and Silke Avenhaus Canat de Chizy Creation ordered for the International Meetings of Mirecourt Marianne Piketty and Dana Ciocarlie Ravel Trio Marianne Piketty, Ophélie Gaillard and Dana Ciocarlie Sunday 24th November, 11am – Cinema Rio Debussy Sonata for cello and piano Patrick Demenga and Dana Ciocarlie Ravel Sonata for violin and piano Christian Altenburger and Dana Ciocarlie Fauré Quatuor n°1 in C minor Op.15 Marianne Piketty, Françoise Gnéri, Ophélie Gaillard and Silke Avenhaus http://rencontresmusicalesmirecourt.e-monsite.com The 5th International Meetings of Mirecourt The Composer Edith Canat de Chizy Having obtained a degree in Art, Archeology and Philosophy at the Sorbonne University, she then studied music in the Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris, where she was awarded, in turn, first prizes in harmony, fugue, counterpoint, analysis, orchestration and composition. At the same time she worked on electroacoustics with Guy Reibel both at the Conservatoire and with the Groupe de Recherches Musicales. She studied first under Ivo Malec and then, in 1983, came the decisive meeting with Maurice Ohana. Edith Canat de Chizy’s training as a violonist means she is very familiar with string writing. She has an obvious sense of timbre and sound matter which is particularly in evidence in her orchestral works. Her independent language and freedom of style have enabled her to create a singular sound world where her imagination holds sway. She obtained exceptionnal distinction for her cello concerto Moïra at the Prince Pierre de Monaco competition (1999). In 2000, she was nominated at the Victoires de la Musique for her violin concerto Exultet. Her viola concerto Les Rayons du jour, commissioned by the Orchestre de Paris, premiered in February 2005 by Ana Bela Chaves under the direction of Christoph Eschenbach met a huge success with the public and the critics. Her most famous works have been ordered by the State, Radio-France, Orchestre de Paris, IRCAM, Musicatreize, Nederlands Kamerkoor, Sequenza 9.3, Accentus, TM+ and they include vocal pieces, string writings like her three quatuors and symphonic writings like Omen, created in October 2006 by Orchestre National de France and Pierre d’Eclair created in March 2011 by Orchestre National de Lyon. She was often a composer in residence like at the Festival de Besançon where her piece for Times Grand Orchestra has been imposed during the final of the Young Conductors International Competition in 2009 and has been created by BBC Symphony Orchestra. She has been awarded numerous prizes for her work, including the Tribune Internationale des Compositeurs, Prize for her orchestral work Yell (1990); the SACEM Hervé Dugardin (1987) and Georges Enesco (1990) prizes; the Paul-Louis Weiller prize (1992); the SACD “Jeune talent musique” Prize (1998) and she is crowned in 2004 by the SACEM Great Symphonic Prize. She was made Chevalier des Arts et Lettres in 1994 and Officier de l’Ordre National du Mérite in 2012; Elected in 2005 at the french Beaux-Arts Académie, Edith Canat de Chizy (born on 26 March 1950) is the first woman composer to enter the Institut de France. She is teacher of composition at CNR Paris since 2007. In January 2008, Edith Canat de Chizy has been made Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur. http://rencontresmusicalesmirecourt.e-monsite.com The 5th International Meetings of Mirecourt The Violonist Marianne Piketty “Density, spirit, virtuosity, depth, generosity”. This is how the press acclaimed the violinist Marianne Piketty; an artist whose eclectic career ranges from Bach to Piazzolla and for whom solo concerts, recitals, chamber music, unique duos, the major repertoire, little known works and the music of our time all feature side by side.

At twelve, she enrolled at the Paris Conservatoire national supérieur de Musique, where she obtained First Prizes for Violin and Chamber Music.
