The curriculum
offers a variety of experiences designed
to inspire each pianist to a new level
of musical understanding and
performance. Each participant will
receive private lessons with our
Vienna-trained artist faculty prior to
rehearsing with orchestra. Classes
will present a background of 18th
century performance style and culture,
including the relationship between
Mozart's opera style and
characterizations and his piano
concerti. Participants will try their
hand at cadenza writing. To experience
the broader framework of Mozart's time,
there will be excursions to nearby
castles, including the amazing
renaissance-era Schloss Rosenburg
with its falconry demonstrations.
We will visit the musical highlights in
and around Vienna, including
Figarohaus, Mozart's home and
museum. In addition to our
course events, all participants in the
Mozart Piano Concerti program are
welcome to attend other course programs
and events of the Altenburg Music
Academy which will be taking place at
the abbey during our stay.
