Masterclasses
The masterclasses are scheduled to run from August 1 through August 5, August 7 and August 8. The application fee is 50€, regardless of which masterclass(es) you choose.
You can apply to a masterclass with a professor of your choice for a 6-day period (full time) or a 3-day period (half time), which cost 600€ and 300€ respectively.
It is possible to subscribe to two masterclasses (two different professors). In this case, you can only take the half time option with each masterclass, so the cost price is 300€ for each. The application fee needs to be paid only once.

International Young Talent Music Competition
Subscribers of a fulltime masterclass may also subscribe to the International Young Talent Music Competition, which will take place on August 6. The application fee for the competition is 100€. Please note that subscription to the competition alone is not possible; it is to be combined with a masterclass of your choice.

Special prize "Dimitri Musafia" for the best violinist: violin case
1st prize: 500€
