Informationen on masterclasses and application

The European Organ Academy Leipzig offers training and further education for organists.

TARGET GROUPS

Active participation in the masterclasses: students at conservatoires (higher education / music universities) and their graduates (church music, artistic organ playing)

Passive participation in the masterclasses: open to all who are interested.

The lectures and concerts are also aimed at the general public.

Active participation requires that participants attend the entire course and are prepared to play at the participants' concert (however, there is no entitlement to play at this concert).

CLASS SELECTION

You can book one or more classes/workshops from the eight classes and two workshops of the four academy phases. The classes /workshops do not take place in parallel. Admission to active participation is according to the date of receipt of registration.


12 active participants (Lennartz workshop 6, Berndt workshop 8 active participants) and an unlimited number of passive participants will be admitted to each masterclass.

The class languages are German and English.
