Since 1993, Fugues en Liberté organises yearly gatherings of about 40 experienced amateur musicians who have the opportunity to practice chamber music intensively during a week with the coaching of highly qualified teachers.
 
workshop
The workshop is designed for non professional musicians from good to high level, with a good experience of chamber music.
Preparation beforehand of a minimum of two pieces is requested from participants to allow for serious work during the workshop.
The choice of pieces takes into account preferences and levels of each one, and also the possibility to include them in the general programme.
A good ability to sight-read will increase the possibilities of playing pieces other than those prepared during or outside hours coached by the teachers.
coaching
Coaching takes place 5 hours a day. During the rest of the time groups gather freely to play other pieces. Teaching is done by a team of specialized teachers who have an extensive experience in the teaching of chamber music. Among them we can mention:
