ARTEMIS is a project supported by a Consortium of 10 international organisations of the music sector. It is dedicated to safeguard, transmit, and promote the practice of playing period instruments and to support young European and neighbouring countries artists in the development of their European and international careers.
The programme is now launching the open call for the activities happening in 2026 in the Mediterranean Hub. The programme is organised by the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées (Paris, France), the Tunis Higher Institute of Music (Tunis, Tunisia), and ARTE Music Academy (Nicosia, Cyprus). The artistic programme is centred around ‘The Mediterranean in Opera (Mozart, Haydn, Rossini)’ and includes an orchestral Academy for instrumentalists and singers from 19–25 October 2026 at the Tunis Higher Institute of Music (Tunis, Tunisia) with Alessandro MOCCIA and Sandrine PIAU. Instrumentalists participating in the Academy in October 2026 in Tunis may have the opportunity to participate in another ARTEMIS Academy.
The repertoire will focus on opera works by Mozart explored through historically informed performance practices. Participants will benefit from a high-level artistic and professional training programme combining musical practice, mentoring, and collaborative work with international partners.
For string players, the academy is open to violins, violas, cellos and doublebasses. For wind players, the academy is open to oboes, flutes, clarinets, bassoons, natural horns, natural trumpets. For percussions, the academy is open to timpani.
