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.

The candidates are rated individually, not by instrument.  The following prizes will be awarded:
Category A:
Young Talent prize: 100€
Category B:
Special prize "Dimitri Musafia" for the best violinist: violin case
1st prize: 500€
2nd prize: 300€
