For Lee Maddeford, the idea is to bring together musicians of different ages and levels. What interests him "is writing and creating a personalized score for each of them". The compositions and arrangements are created for - and played by - musicians of all backgrounds and ages, and adapted to their level, whatever their instrument. Musicians, students and teachers alike, join forces, combining fragility and virtuosity in a shared adventure. Through stylistically varied musical writing, musicians are encouraged to broaden their ability to adapt to all kinds of music. This original repertoire enables them to work together and share a common musical and human adventure. Compagnie Albertine presents a new edition of Lee Maddeford's Radio Garage project. It's an original creation, based on musical compositions written in different styles, as if we were traveling on the sound waves of a "Radio Garage", as the Compagnie Albertine is housed in an old garage! The compositions and arrangements are created for and played by musicians of all backgrounds and ages, adapting them to their level, whatever their instrument, while offering them new challenges. The special feature of this project is the creation by and around groups of student musicians, of all ages and backgrounds, mixing different instruments and levels, through the idea of a radio broadcasting multiple and varied music, reflecting the human and artistic diversity of the participants.
