Sampo Academy
From 6 to 10 May 2021 in Saint-Etienne, France
The Sampo academy is aimed at musicians who wish to transcend the sound boundaries of their instrument with the Sampo. It offers a chance to discover the Sampo during a weekend of intensive training, to transform one's instrument into an augmented one, and to introduce oneself to mixed music.
The academy also welcomes composers, who have the possibility to write a short piece to work together with the performers during the academy.
