Information

 

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 five 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.

The courses start on August 9 and 17, 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 1 in order to get a decision in advance.

Concerts will take place on August 12 and 20 by the professors, and on August 14 and 23 by the students.

The courses end on August 17 and 25 at 13:00
