lieu 2009 - 2011 Laboratoire Instrumental EUropéen European Instrumental Laboratory lieu Laboratoire Instrumental EUropéen European Instrumental Laboratory “The LIEU (Laboratoire Instrumental EUropéen), is dedicated to the diffusion of contemporary musical creation. Its purpose is the construction of a European network of partners united by a charter of quality and challenge. It favours creation, exchanges between groups, structures and European composers, as well as the circulation of works and artistes from all over the world. $ÀUVWWZR\HDUSURMHFWKDVEHHQODXQFKHGIRUZKLFKWKH7KpkWUH Dunois in Paris is the base. This small Parisian theatre receives each of the ensembles of LIEU in residence alongside the Ensemble Aleph, at the initiative of the network. All partner structures also receive, in turn, events organised by LIEU. Over two years, there have thus been VRPHÀIW\PXVLFLDQVLQYROYHGDQGPRUHWKDQZRUNVSUHPLHUHGLQ some thirty events in eight European countries (Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Latvia, the Netherlands, Portugal and Slovenia). 7KLV SURMHFW LV DLGHG E\ WKH (XURSHDQ &RPPLVVLRQ DV SDUW RI LWV &XOWXUHSURJUDPPHµ Summary LIEU - THE NETWORK ........................... 2 Map of the network ................................................... 4 ([FKDQJHH[SORUHeFKDQJHUH[SORUHU ................. 6 7KHPRUHWKHVWURQJHU6HUDVVHPEOHUSRXUPLHX[ exister ............................................................................ 8 7KHDLPVRIWKHQHWZRUN2EMHFWLIVGXUpVHDX ..... 10 $FWLRQV$FWLRQV ....................................................... 12 /,(8(9(176&$/(1'$5 .................... 16 LIEU ENSEMBLES ................................ 18 '(7$,/63(5&28175< ...................... 19 )LQODQG6XRPL ........................................................ 19 France ........................................................................ 23 *HUPDQ\'HXWVFKODQG .......................................... 41 *UHHFHƧnjnjǂDžǂ ...................................................... /DWYLD/DWYLMD ............................................................ 1HWKHUODQGV1HGHUODQG ...........................................
