Application process
Due to the limited number of places, participants will be chosen for active participation based on artistic ability. Please hand in your application by June 15, 2026. You can register online via Muvac.
A video recording documenting your skills is expected with your application. You are free to choose the piece, but it should be either contemporary music (Ensemble Recherche course) or baroque music on a historical instrument (Freiburg Baroque Orchestra course). Please upload at least one video from each period if you are applying for both course specialisations.
We are looking forward to your application!
