This year, as an opening of the week-end, will take place a Table ronde opened to any audience (members of S.I.C., students, large audience) on friday 15th : "Composition, interpretation and direction : how to organize these roles?" Musicians, composers, conductors and soundpainters will debate on the question that, beyond the concrete and practical dimension in the organization of these roles in ensembles and groups, there is an impact on the creative process. And who knows, maybe political and ethical considerations play a part in it? In our collective imagination about classical and contemporary music, it is often considered that the composer, the conductor, and the interpreter are 3 different people, each of them with a specificity and a very codified field. One writes, one conducts, the other plays. However, it has not always been like that, and many XXth century musics blur these limits, sometimes even by putting as a keystone of their approach the fusion of these 3 roles to unify the creative process. This Table Ronde, as an introduction to the Soundpainting interactive Conference #3 organized for this coming November 15, 16, 17, will question how these different roles are organized in groups and/or orchestras and explore both their artistic and politic dimensions. Moderator : Alexis Heropoulos, conference speaker and coordinator of cultural mediation actions of the Capsul Collectif (Tours, Fr.) du Capsul Collectif de Tours, freelance journalist, interested by cultural, urban and judicial matters. He has been teaching Jazz Culture &history for 10 years in Jazz à Tours School.
