Bad Leonfelden is a charming little town in the Mühlviertel, a beautiful area in Upper-Austria. The classes take place during the day in a relaxed but concentrated atmosphere; the evenings are reserved for ad hoc chamber music playing.
Each active participant will receive a minimum of three lessons, a passive participant half a lesson. String quartets will receive at least six lessons.
Everyone must be ready for her/his first lesson at the beginning of the course. Pieces with piano should be well prepared as there is very little time for rehearsals with the pianist.
Each participant gets free admission to all classes and concerts.
New: free seminars on baroque dance (Natalie Gal, Salzburg) and voice training (Helmut Zeilner, Salzburg) For more information see "professors"
The courses start on 8th and 16th Aug. 2010 at 15:00, possibly with an audition to decide who will be an active/passive participant. Students from overseas and string quartets may send in a CD plus two recommendations by master musicians by June 1st in order to get a decision in advance.
Concerts will take place on 11th and 19th August 2010 by the professors, and on August 14th and 22nd 2010 by the students.
The courses end on August 16th and 24th 2010 at 13:00
