Thanks to you, MecenAgora! supports conservatoire students through scholarships. These scholarships allow the young artist to take part to master classes held in Belgium the last two weeks of August at the Enghien International Musical Encounters. The artists then participate in two concerts: one during the Master Classes, and a second one usually in winter. The originality of the concept lies in the fact that our “Mecenes” have a unique occasion to follow an artist through didactical concerts. In fact, the project can be summed up in three keywords: discover, support and celebrate.
Discover
One of the key objectives of this association is to discover classical music from a different, interactive point of view and to have a grasp of its richness. During the concert, the artist may want to present the historical and cultural context of the music that he/she will play, or explain why he/she chose it.
Each concert is also a good occasion to discover the artist himself, who most of the time comes from abroad, and who will have been chosen for his/her level of excellence by an international artistic jury appointed by the Enghien International Musical Encounters association.
Support
Your participation in this association will help an artist to confront himself/herself to a large unknown audience through each concert in Belgium, as well as granting him/her an access to the summer master class of Enghien. This is a unique chance for young artists from all over the world to meet in an enchanting place in Belgium!
Celebrate!!
Listening to classical music and having fun afterwards are by no means antinomics! All people from the audience are more than welcome after the concert to come, have a beer, chat and meet with the artists. The presence of the scholars of the National Conservatory, invited at each concert, will certainly enrich the artistic atmosphere…without necessarily making it more serious!
