I am glad to present you the new program of the musical training courses of AKDT.

It is always a real happiness for us to be at this moment. It is as if we had cooked in secret and with love in our kitchen some delicious dishes and we would be waiting your reaction. This year, we have concocted you new recipes and some big classics to share together a wonderful feast!
Although the majority of our training courses take place in July during our summer sessions in Libramont and in Neufchâteau, it is good to know that a lot of other activities take place also at other moments and in other places. The November session in Malmedy has been very successful in 2009 and we will do it again this year in collaboration with the "Académie de Musique" and the city of Malmedy.
We organize also some trainings abroad as, thanks to Wallonie-Bruxelles International (WBI), we collaborate deeply with INA (Institut National des Arts) in Kinshasa (RDC), which the Jazz classroom of the Arabian and Mediterranean Musics Centre in Sidi-Bou-Saïd (Tunisia), with the Limma Association in Constantine (Algeria) and with different structures in Benin, in Senegal, in Algeria and in Burkina Faso. A lot of our trainers take part in training courses which are given in these countries. Each year we welcome nearly 25 African trainees (also thanks to WBI grants) during our summer sessions in Libramont and Neufchâteau. Some of our trainers come from these institutions too.

It is the spirit of these meetings which enriches our sessions. Meeting between the North and the South, but also intergenerational meetings, because beginners and advances musicians, whatever their age can meet each other.

The musical sessions co-exist with plastic Arts sessions and we do everything, my colleague Eddy Devolder and me, to encourage the collaborations between visual artists and musicians. You will discover through the training courses offered descriptions that we are going with happiness to an artistic utopian view which builds bridges between traditions, the past and present vocabularies in a contemporary reality which is common to everybody.

We are sure that the fifty musical training courses and the multiple complementary activities we offer (more details on the website), are an incredible panel of experiences to do. I wish you some great moments during our training courses and enjoy ourselves to share them with you.

Pierre Vaiana,
Artistic adviser
