Tenso Days Marseille 2013 are organized by Musicatreize in the framework of

  

The Tenso Young Composers Workshop gives participants a chance to work closely with a professional chamber choir, so that they may enhance their knowledge of vocal techniques and the musical possibilities of "the choir as instrument". 

Three composers were invited for the second round of the workshop in Mechelen, in May of this year :

* Eugene Birman 1987 (LV/US - studies in EE/UK)
* Mátyás Wettl 1987 (HU - studies in NL)

* Jamie Man 1987 (UK - studies in NL)

The jury was impressed by the three candidates, who all three show immense promise and imagination in their work, and hopes to see and hear more of them in the near future. In awarding the prize to Eugene Birman, the jury wants to honour the composer that is expected to write not only the most interesting but also ultimately the most performable music. The new work will be taken on the repertoire by Tenso choirs in the season 2014/2015.
