During the November masterclass of the Péter Eötvös Contemporary Music Foundation, five young composers will have the opportunity to create a five-minute mini-opera under the guidance of professors Ramon Lazkano, Benoît Sitzia, and Gergely Vajda. The literary basis for the pieces is Mark Twain's The Diary of Adam and Eve. At the closing concert of the masterclass, these mini-operas will be performed – alongside works by Péter Eötvös and the three professors – by the musicians of the Ars Nova Ensemble, who are committed to both contemporary music and education, and two outstanding singers from the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel, who will also help the young composers during the composition process.
