A MONTH IN THE SIGN OF ACADEMIA

The series of master classes, spread over six and a half weeks, usually opens at the beginning of July with a concert and the obligatory children's and youth opera workshop.

Meeting former academy participants as soloists is always an uplifting experience. On this occasion, it is wonderful to see that talented youngsters have become stage professionals. These successes reflect the importance of the seminars and master classes, which offer many young singers the opportunity to work with world-famous artistic personalities. The conductor is not the only focus here; the students also provide each other with valuable inspiration. In addition to seven to eight workshops and master classes, Academia Vocalis offers the general public a series of outstanding concerts in the form of song and aria recitals.

Academia Vocalis sees itself first and foremost as a teaching event for the next generation of international singers; public concerts only have their fundamental justification in connection with the seminar work. However, this not only makes it possible to check whether the Academia is actually delivering the performance that is expected of it, but also whether the association is able to pass on the joy of its successes.
