Masterclasses
The masterclasses are scheduled to run from August 1 through August 6. 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.
A chamber music masterclass costs 700€ (full time). You need to apply with three, four or five people. This cannot be combined with another masterclass.

International Young Talent Music Competition
Subscribers of a masterclass may also subscribe to the International Young Talent Music Competition, which will take place on August 7. 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. Thanks to the unified subscription form, you only need to fill in one form.
