Summer Academy
The Angelika Prokopp Summer Academy of the Vienna Philharmonic promotes the training of young orchestral talent.
About the Summer Academy
The Angelika Prokopp Summer Academy of the Vienna Philharmonic promotes the training of young orchestral talent. For fifteen years, the Angelika Prokopp Summer Academy of the Vienna Philharmonic has been held in Salzburg during the Salzburg Festival. Playing in an orchestra of the highest quality is related to listening to each other, to interact with each other and to the flexibility between the musicians - this is to be learned and sharpened in the musical work ranging from chamber music in small groups to the large orchestra within the framework of the Summer Academy.
The Angelika Prokopp Summer Academy of the Vienna Philharmonic is a unique course for young musicians that focuses on orchestral playing, chamber music and audition training.
Orchestra
One of the focal points is the orchestra module. During an intensive rehearsal week, an orchestra programme is developed with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and under the direction of an internationally sought-after conductor and performed in several concerts.
A separate module forms an additional programme for chamber orchestra, to which applicants can be invited by the jury.
Chamber Music
In the chamber music module, selected chamber music works in various smaller and larger ensembles are worked on in class with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and performed in various concerts.
Audition training
All participants in the chamber music or chamber orchestra modules have the opportunity to receive individual lessons with an audition programme with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and finally to take part in an audition simulation in front of a jury with subsequent feedback. This focus on audition training is offered for all participating instruments and takes place within the Summer Academy period.
Stage music
Upon invitation by the jury, depending on the programme of the Salzburg Festival, participants of the Summer Academy have the opportunity to participate in the stage music of opera productions of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in Salzburg.
