Welcome to YAMsession 2018!

Dear friends, A big thank you must go out to all our Spanish partners the Xunta de Galicia, GaiĂĄs Cidade Da Cultura and JM Spain as well as our supporters throughout the year: Belspo and the European Union. In addition we must thanks RESEO, our opera partner, and the YAM committee who meet throughout the year to make this program what it is. A special mention must go to Ebbe Hoyrup from LMS in Denmark.

His work for and with YAM has been essential for the development of the program. Thank you also to the JMI team for such a great job.

JMI is all about bringing music to new generations. It works with and for youth to make the world a better place to be. We use only one weapon: Music! The weapon where you aim for the ears but touch the heart. This is what we do through our programs and activities all year round, all over the world.

YAM is one of these programs: an annual event where professionals working in the field of young audience development come together to discuss, create and celebrate! It takes place every year in a different country, the 2018 YAMsession is being hosted by Spain and the Cidade de Cultura, looking out to the rest of the world from mount Gaias. A most extraordinary venue, it will surely contribute to make our 2018 session a very special and creative occasion.

And where would we be without the musicians, producers, speakers and delegates? These people provide the event with it’s world-class program and will make the 2018 YAMsession take its next step in achieving and producing the artistic excellence we all aim for.

Jessie Westenholz, President of JM INTERNATIONAL

BACH IN THE STREET Sweden

Artist: Semmy Stahlhammer (violin) Maele Sabuni (street dance) Contact: lilian.henriksson@musikaliska.se Website: www.musikaliska.se/lansmusiken

THURSDAY 18TH OCT • 15:00 With its mesmerising staging and its use of musical juxtaposition, Bach in the Street explores concepts from cultural identity and people displacement to life and death in a format that is simultaneously serious and light-hearted.

This production presents both musical and cultural fusion. On stage, solo violin music meets blasted hip-hop and urban street dance. The interaction between Semmy Stahlhammer (First Concert-Master of the Royal Swedish Orchestra and Bach specialist) and Maele Sabuni​(award winning street dancer and Sweden Eurovision performer) is dynamic and captivating for audiences of all ages.

The two virtuoso performers also represent a fusion of cultures. Both are the Swedish-born children of refugees (Semmy’s heritage is Jewish​ , Maele’s Congolese) and the production investigates what it means to escape and then find refuge, to plant roots in new soil, to find one’s own place and to grow through art and culture.

PEPE& SPEEDY Austria

Artist: Christoph Pepe Auer Contact: christoph@pepeauer.com Website: www.pepeauer.com

WEDNESDAY 17TH OCT • 10:30 In a musical journey Pepephon Jazz musicians Christoph Pepe Auer and Manfred Temmel use guitars, clarinets, saxophones and their homemade pepephone in a playful exploration of sounds, rhythms and melodies. During this process the audience experiences sound-worlds ranging from joyful, fast-paced gypsy jazz through to celestially melodic songs; from intoxicatingly groovy rhythms through to swinging waltzes.

They play their own compositions as well as arrangements and excerpts from pop, jazz and classical music and focus on the first-hand joy of playing, the creative usage of the instruments, and on an interactive musical exchange with the audience.

TAAMA Belgium

Artist: Théâtre de la Guimbarde Contact: regieguimbarde@gmail.com Website: www.laguimbarde.be

THURSDAY 18TH OCT • 10:00 A collaboration between the Guimbarde Theater (Belgium) and the Eclair Theater (Burkina Faso), Taama («voyage» in Dioula language) brings together a Burkinabe singer and a Breton violinist in a colorful world that mixes traditional rhymes and classical melodies.

Through the idea of ​​travel, the show is a metaphor for the child who, separated from his mother, is confronted daily with the unknown.

Their meeting takes place after she has walked a long way. In exile, she seeks a haven of peace where to put her small and big business to rebuild a nest. In her bags, she took the instruments that remind her of the sounds and songs of her country. So many treasures that make his wealth. He, present on his way, welcomes him and accompanies him on this musical path. Like a rhyme that reassures her. Like a caring and accomplice presence.

C’EST PARTI MON KIKI France

Artist: Jacques Tellitocci Contact: charlotte@traffixmusic.com Website: www.traffixmusic.com

WEDNESDAY 17TH OCT • 12:00 «C’est Parti Mon Kiki» is an instrumental show that immerses us in a playful musical universe. A burlesque and mute character revisits his childhood memories and invites us to enter his den as a little boy. We discover a variety of sound toys including his favorite toy: the dog Kiki, his loyal playmate who reawakens his imagination.

An eclectic and evocative soundscape is created by Jacques Tellitocci’s vibraphone playing and his use of children’s toys. This is combined with atmospheric lighting to create an entrancing show.

THE FLUTEMAN SHOW Germany/Hungary Artist: Gabor Vosteen Contact: a.rockenschaub@jeunesse.at Website: www.flutemanshow.com

THURSDAY 18TH OCT • 11:30 40,000 years ago he brought music to Neanderthal man by presenting a flute made of mammoth bone. To the Pied Piper he revealed the secret of hidden persuasion. Pan copied his compositions. God Shiva took lessons from him. Mozart said that, without him, The Magic Flute would have never been composed.

BALKAN PARADISE ORCHESTRA Spain

THURSDAY 18TH SEP • 21:30 The Balkan Paradise Orchestra began their journey in the beginning of 2015 in the city of Barcelona. An unusual and groundbreaking formation made up of eleven wind and percussion instrumentalists, the BPO has brought a fresh and lively atmosphere to spectacle of the Balkan fanfare.

With different approaches, experiences and influences, but sharing the passion for the Balkan tradition, these eleven women transform the genre into an authentic elixir of traditional melodies with rhythms from around the world, offering a show loaded with energy that works both on stage and on the street.

TAM TAM France

Artist: Compagnie madame Glou Contact: tam-tam@scenelibre.fr Website: http://eglantineriviere.wixsite.com/eglantineriviere/tam-tam

FRIDAY 19TH OCT • 10:00 Body Music and Burlesque Theater, such is the original and charming alliance of Tam-Tam; the story of a man and a woman, two great simpletons who are too shy and clumsy to be comfortable with words.

It is their gestures that will say loudly what they want to keep quiet, until the escape of sounds, in spite of themselves, finally allowing them to discover the infinite possibilities of communication through rhythm and sounds. This show was imagined by the sparkling Églantine Rivière, whose original work is at the crossroads of clown and music. She built with her team a percussive, comic and participative non-verbal universe, where voice, handstrokes, feet and goblets mix! The two characters move from major disagreement to perfect harmony... or, almost!

Producers Forum

How it works: 1. The production first performs live for the YAMsession with their existing work 2. After they are whisked away by the producers and over the course of the next two days they work together to make a ‘new’ production

The YAMsession Producers Forum brings together a local young audiences production with two international producers from two different countries to explore what makes the production good and what they can do together to make the production great!

3. It is presented again on the final day.

The whole process is followed by the audience who is encouraged to give input and reflections on what transforms a good production into a great one!

HOW DO OUR POEMS SOUND? Marta Sancho Andrés & Brais González Pérez Poetry is music and music is poetry. Neither of them can be understood without the other and yet... how remote they always are...

In this concert, we will seek the connection between both artistic expressions, so that the public can feel the intimate relationship that exists between them (with arrangements in this case for clarinet and piano).This musical journey takes us through the last two centuries of Galician history, accompanied by poets like Rosalia de Castro, Curros Enríquez and Eduardo Blanco Amor, and composers such as Juan Montes, José Castro “Chané” and Andrés Gaos.
