Yes, the Instrumentarium where the workshops take place is located on the ground floor and is accessible to people with reduced mobility.

No, the Percustra workshops are designed to be accessible to everyone regardless of financial means. Instruments and mallets are provided during the sessions. The workshops take place in the Instrumentarium of Les Percussions de Strasbourg, which contains a large number of instruments (around 1,000) from all over the world. Learn more here.

No, the aim of the Percustra workshops is to introduce participants to percussion and contemporary music. No prior knowledge of music or music theory is required.

Yes. Percustra workshops are collective creation workshops open to everyone, with no level or knowledge requirements. The workshops are a space for expression and discovery of contemporary music, not percussion lessons aimed at achieving a specific technical level.

Percussion instruments include several families (wood, metal, skins, keyboards, accessories). During the workshops, you will have the opportunity to play different instruments. The goal is to discover percussion, create collectively, and develop improvisation skills, not to learn a single instrument.

The workshops run from January to June, consisting of 13 sessions, plus a dress rehearsal and a concert. It is possible to miss 1 or 2 sessions, but Percustra requires long-term commitment because the group must build the project together and prepare the final performance. Participants are asked to attend the dress rehearsal and the end-of-year concert.

The workshop dates are announced at the start of the cultural season in September. Percustra workshops take place from January to June. Except for the dress rehearsal and the concert, schedules are given as an indication and may be subject to change. The musicians of Les Percussions de Strasbourg who lead the workshops may be called for concerts or tours that are not always confirmed before the Percustra schedule is published.

 The main objective is for everyone to have a good time playing percussion instruments 🙂 but in addition, there is a final concert in June. It brings together both the school workshops and the all-ages workshops!

This event brings together the school workshops and the all-ages workshops in a large evening lasting between 1h and 1h30. The 6 groups take turns on stage, presenting the piece they have developed throughout the year. Two workshops are open to everyone, and four workshops are conducted with school groups from the Hautepierre neighborhood (two primary school classes from Brigitte and Jacqueline schools and two 6th-grade classes from Truffaut and Érasme middle schools).

The concert is free, and relatives may be invited within the limit of available seats, according to guidelines communicated during the year. Participants are asked to arrive at least one hour before the start of the event. The concert takes place under professional conditions and is prepared throughout the year by the musicians leading the workshops, along with the technical and administrative teams.

Each year, a theme is given to all six Percustra groups. This theme is connected to the artistic directions developed by the ensemble during the current season. The theme also resonates with the programming in Hautepierre, creating links between the musicians and the participants.
