Masterclasses

Training young musicians is part of our DNA.

Since the very birth of our festival aspiring young musicians have taken part in our summer schools, workshops and masterclasses hosted by some of the world’s finest artists and teachers.
Where can I find tips and tricks to play Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto or Bach’s Chaconne? How can my String Quartet play together better?

Find out below in our masterclass videos.

If you would like to support young musicians at the start of their careers, please consider making a donation – thank you.
