ADMISSIONS

A full refund will be given to those who are not admitted because they exceed the number of places available.

The admission criteria will take into account the composer's career and closeness to the Klexos aesthetic. The chosen instrumentation will not be taken into account, as long as it can be performed by Klexos (maximum of 5 performers, 4 of them saxophonists and 1 composer-multimedia artist). Therefore, by way of example, duo works (saxophone duo, performer duo), trios, quartets and quintets of different characteristics with or without multimedia elements are accepted.
