International Summer Academy Radolfzell

Since 1994, the master classes have been attracting students from all over the world to the lake and have presented enthusiastic audiences with a series of performances.

Anke Dill, Gustav Rivinius and Florian Wiek, outstanding international musicians and renowned university professors, lead the masterclasses in violin, cello and piano. They traditionally open the academy with the lecturers’ concert on August 4 in the Christuskirche.

During the daily master classes in the following week, interested visitors can directly follow the honing of technique and interpretation and experience the young course participants and their results on various concert stages in a series of open-air and evening concerts.

The highlight of the summer academy is the final concert and award ceremony in the Christuskirche. This is followed in September by the conducting master class under the direction of Zurich professor Johannes Schlaefli. In this second part of the Summer Academy, which was offered for the first time in 2016, six selected conductors are given the opportunity to work on a highly demanding concert program with the Lake Constance Philharmonic Orchestra and bring it to the stage.
