For the past several years, Editions Durand-Salabert-Eschig (Editions DSE), the Paris-based member of the Universal Music Publishing Classical group has supported various high-level international competitions which allow us to discover talented young artists, composers and performers who have been recognized as rising stars.

Orchestre National d’Ile de France – Ile de création composition competition
For the second year in a row, Editions DSE was a partner in the competition Ile de creation, organized by the Orchestre National d’Ile-de-France.

This competition is intended to allow young composers to develop their knowledge of the symphonic sphere, giving them the opportunity to have their music performed live in front of an audience and broadcast on the radio, and offering us the chance to participate in the “incubator” of musical creators trained in France.

Adrien Trybucki was the winner of the 2014 composition competition, with his piece Cinq Visions. This piece will be published by Editions DSE, and performed 5 times from March 29th through April 6th, 2014. The concert in Paris, to be held in the Salle Gaveau, will take place on April 3rd, 2014.
