Do you love experimenting with sounds, developing your own ideas and expressing yourself musically?
Then Inventions 2025 is just right for you!
From August 24 to 30, 2025, loc.artium invites you to the inspiring spaces of ZHdK in Zurich, offering a creative environment for contemporary music and music technology. Here, you'll learn how to bring your musical ideas to life – whether for classical instruments, vocals, electronics, film, new media, or the stage.
What can you expect?
In small groups, you'll work on your musical ideas. Whether you want to create music for the concert stage, film, dance, theater, or sound installations – it's entirely up to you. No prior experience in composition is required! The only prerequisite is that you are already advanced on your instrument or with your voice and eager to try new things.
In these workshops, we aim to dissolve the strict boundaries between interpreting and creating. Together with internationally experienced composers and music experts, you'll develop your own musical language and immerse yourself in the world of creative expression.
Throughout the week, you'll have plenty of opportunities to connect with other participants, explore new musical styles, and discover various musical traditions. And the best part: at the end of the week, you'll present your composition in a collective performance. Let your creativity run free and be part of it – we look forward to seeing you!
