Each year, several sessions of musical research are organized on the premises of the ensemble, in collaboration with a composer.
True laboratories, these days represent privileged moments for our artists and the guest composer. They allow them to develop their skills, to test new sound materials or new tools outside of any public programming. Interpreters and creators can thus feed off each other through frequent round trips during a time reserved for discovery.
After the work carried out around the Light Wall System during the PdSLaB#0 developed in December 2017, les Percussions de Strasbourg have started to open the doors of the sessions to a few students from music schools and other audiences several times a year.
