The first will take place between July 5 and July 15, 2011 and will take students from Moscow, through Vladimir, to the historic city of Kostroma. The second program will take place in late July/early August of 2011 and will include a tour of Europe that includes Weimar, Verona, and Venice.
More information about next year's program will be posted later this month. Meanwhile, we invite you to peruse last year's summer guide.
AFAF Summer Music Courses in Europe 2010
The American Fine Arts Festival (AFAF) Summer Music Courses in Europe 2010 offers music students an exciting opportunity to spend ten delightful days in Europe (or fourteen days, for those who decide to participate in both tour portions of the program), under the tutelage of a distinguished international faculty comprised of experienced teachers and renowned chamber musicians and soloists.
Two Opportunities to Explore Europe’s Musical Heritage
This year’s AFAF Summer Music Courses in Europe consists of two interconnected programs. Both of this year’s programs include a week of music study in Weimar, Germany, where the famous Liszt School of Music will be playing host to our summer program for a second year in a row. Both programs also include several days of travel during which participants will be able to explore Europe’s rich cultural heritage. The first program, our Germany-Austria Tour, begins on August 5, 2010 in Munich, from where participants will go on to visit Salzburg, Neuschwanstein Castle and Nuremberg, before arriving in Weimar for their week of music study. Our second program, the Germany-France Tour, begins on August 9, 2010, with the week of study at the Liszt School of Music, and ends with the tour portion of the program, which will take participants to Strasbourg, Metz, Rheims, Paris, and Versailles.
A Unique Educational Experience
Weimar’s Liszt School of Music will be hosting our summer program in 2010, and participants will be able to make full use of the school’s music center, as well as sports and recreational facilities. Our faculty will provide participants with daily coachings, private lessons, instruction in music theory and history, as well as a chance to participate in chamber music ensembles, masterclasses and recitals. In addition to courses offered by this program, participants will also have the opportunity to enjoy the rich history of our host town, Weimar, which was home to Franz Liszt for so many years. With Weimar as their home base, participants will be able to explore surrounding cities and learn more about the composers that called these cities home, including Würzburg, Dresden (Wagner) and Leipzig (Mendelssohn, Bach).
