From 4 to 8 August 2025, professional singers of all voice types will have the unique opportunity to work on ‘fundamental principles of vocal technique – the basis of a long singing career’ in a masterclass with Maestra Silvana Bazzoni Bartoli herself. Registrations are open until 20 July 2025. Like the other masterclasses, this masterclass is open to the general public. Audience tickets are available at summer.academy@moz.ac.at. Cecilia Bartoli will also be a guest.
New this year are lectures by neurologist Jürg Kesselring on the topic of ‘Music and the Brain’ and by Moritz Bergfeld, who will shed light on modern recording techniques and their significance for young artists in a practical presentation.
Numerous public concerts, including four lecturer concerts on Tuesdays and four matinees with concerts by the prize winners on Saturdays, round off the programme. The prizes for the best participants in each course period are donated by the Cultural Fund of the City of Salzburg. In addition, numerous scholarships for participants have been made possible by private sponsors and the generous support of the Lions Clubs Millennium Pongau and St. Johann.
