EuropEan ChambEr musiC aCadEmy6

over the years, the European Chamber music academy has become more and more European. it has been ecognised as the highest level of international training in the field, new partners

(institutions and universities of music) have been added, there has been more cooperation, and new ensembles (often consisting of young artists from different countries) have become a part of it. We can thus say that it has been a successful adventure so far.

but being european is also a great responsibility. Chamber music’s in-ternationally recognised point of reference is European chamber music. and there indeed is a common basis, a common tradition here. but at the same time, multiple languages and multiple cultures are involved. Composers think in their own languages and with reference to their own cultures, and the thoughts and intentions behind written music are almost always tied thereto.

For this reason, if we want to be Europeans, we need to be federalists, in music as elsewhere: we cannot refer to a cultural unicum, but much rather need to learn about and recognise the differences that exist. it may seem all too simple as an idea, but it is in precisely these differences that we find the real opportunity of being together.

hence the itinerant approach of the ECma sessions; hence the presence of great teachers from different backgrounds; and hence ECma’s spirit, which is not about teaching the one and only interpretation but about offering reflections on the music in order to discover its ability to unite amidst all differences.

if ECma, working with this approach, can help shape a generation of artists able not only to play music at the highest level but also to convey the thoughts behind the music, convey its aesthetic, philoso phical, and social values, then it will have achieved its goal.

make music, think music, search for reasons and emotions in music, and move those who are listening. be together. Grow together. That’s all it is. Which is no small thing!

Mathias Deichmann

Just as there exists no ensemble that “is” once and for all, ECma, too, needs to be understood as a permanent process of growth. by constantly rethinking and developing the very idea of chamber

music, we aim to secure the future of its practice at the highest level. The great masterpieces of the enormously rich repertoire can surely be counted among the peak achievements of human civilization, and this in and of itself makes playing chamber music on an outstanding level an uplifting experi-ence for players and audiences alike! besides which: could not thinking, feeling, speaking, and expressing music together in autonomous groups serve very well as a model for society in general?

ECma will continue to explore the multitude of European and non-European cultural backgrounds, making use of the huge potential of diverse traditions and innovative ideas. and since we understand our work to be a combination of several major missions (as an educational programme, as an artistic think-tank, as a network, and in terms of our societal impact), we’re happy that the integration of ECma alumni as our second generation of tutors is already well on its way!

The Erasmus+ strategic partnership project ECma next step has strongly intensified the academic bonds between the ECma partners. The most important outcome of its various working goals will be the first European Joint master programme for established chamber music ensembles, to be launched in autumn 2019.

ECma has been successful at deepening the collaborative ties between the core partners as well as initiating a process of opening up to a wider circle for cooperative arrangements. Working together with more and more festivals, concert halls, and organisations in the world of classical music helps us bridge the gap between the music market and what is perceived as the realm of training and education.

may we keep on learning while cherishing the specialities and peculiarities entailed by our differences, at the same time joining our forces in the most effective way possible as ECma embarks upon its 15th year.

it is my strong conviction that ECma, as a truly European project, simply has to make a difference in these challenging times of change!

Johannes Meissl

dear young musicians,dear friends, dear colleagues,

you have here before you ECma’s report on its past year. ECma is not an in stitution that lives from the success of its ensembles. When ECma ensembles achieve success – about which you can also read in this report – then it is owed above all to the great amount of work that these ensembles have invested, as well as to their members’ genuine curiosity. in our pro fession, genuine curiosity is a fundamental prerequisite for success. and to seek out ECma is to seek out the key that unlocks the infinite, fantastic realm of art. no human culture would be imaginable without art, especially not without music and time, without time and space, and without the infinite repetition of the finite. This unfathomability, which all music has in common, lies in the act of creation that begins with and within the com-poser – and that we musicians, whenever we deal with music, must reinvoke. doing so requires that we be modest and attentive to our own selves as we bow down deeply before the greatness of all true art.

We who seek to lead you toward this art strive to use music’s linguisticality to build a bridge, awakening within you an authentic and meaningful understanding of that which can only become real through you. We have no “teachers” in the sense of so many other summer courses or similar programs. our intent is always to discover music anew through you and with you, with our experience in dealing with music’s grammar and its melody as a language being meant to provide you with support – a challenging undertaking! it must be clear, here, that this objective cannot be reached in just a few phases of work. and for this reason, we seek a voluntary commit-ment from you to take part in as many of the ECma sessions as possible.

ECma is not a typical academy. all of us strive with you and through you to approach the great mystery of music, its inexplicable magic as well as all the philosophy with which it is connected.

in this spirit, i wish everyone with an affinity for our work and for our intellectual goals a happy and successful new year of 2019.

Hatto Beyerle

HoW Does It WorK?Ensembles apply for the programme at participating institutions. Following a successful entrance exam held at their chosen institution and under the condition of their agreeement to the reommended exchange scheme, the ensemble is enrolled in the programme at this institution, which then functions as the home institution from which the ensemble members eventually graduate.ECmaster students spend semesters 1 and 4 at their home institution and semesters 2 and 3 at two different partner institutions. Exchange semesters involving partner institutions and intensive programmes are both obligatory in this master’s degree programme.

Each ensemble is appointed a principal artistic supervisor from the home institution as well as artistic supervisors from each host institution. The responsibility of the principal artistic supervisor is to have regular contact with the students, to maintain a full overview of the ensemble’s progress, and to act as a contact person for the artistic supervisors from the other two institutions.

semester 1: home institution semester 2: potential host institutions: Fiesole, manchester, oslo, or Vienna semester 3: potential host institutions: paris, The hague, or Vilnius semester 4: home institution

intensive modulesEnsembles commit to attending a minimum of 6 ECma sessions within the programme’s two years, normally one session each in semesters 1 and 4 and two sessions each in semesters 2 and 3. one of the sessions during semesters 2 and 3 will be at the host institution.

Applying at multiple institutions:it is possible to apply at more than one institution.

Who is eligible?The programme is open to established ensembles with a minimum of three ensemble members and a standard combination of instruments: string quartets piano trios string trios piano quartets Wind quintets brass quintets saxophone quartets other ensembles (see the General programme description for more information)

joInt ProgrAMMeeuropean chamber Music Master – ecMAster

ECmaster (European Chamber music master) is a two year joint master’s degree-level programme for pre-existing chamber music ensembles. it is operated by seven leading institutions of higher music education in Europe in close colla bo-ration with ECma (the European Chamber music academy), an association of European music universities, conservatoires, and festivals.

With its tailor-made curricula, te ECmaster enables students to develop their specific artistic, technical, reflective, and social skills and to act as strong, independent and innovative ensemble musicians who can live up to the high professional demands of tomorrow’s music scene. The admitted chamber music groups will take advantage of the expertise, culture, and tradition of three separate music institutions.

during these two years of advanced study, two obligatory exchange semestersat two different host institutions will be supported by Erasmus+ mobility funding. in addition, the ensembles will participate in at least six ECma sessions and receive access to a European network of chamber music professionals.

ecMA – eDUcAtIonAl ProgrAMMeECma ensembles selected by audition are entitled to participate in ECma sessions. These sessions offer chamber music coaching by renowned musicians plus relevant lectures, seminars, and excursions that are compulsory.

Furthermore, ensembles are given the opportunity to present themselves to a wider public through concerts, performances, and recordings.

ECma’s ongoing training cycle covers a period that normally lasts two years, with seven to eight sessions per year.

in contrast to the attendance of isolated master classes, regular participation in as many ECma sessions as possible assures young ensembles continuity of high- profile coaching by well-established tutors and combines interpretational work with impulses from the academic realm.

Each session takes place at an ECma partner institution or at a partner festival. participation is free of charge for ECma ensembles. Costs arising in connection with travel and lodging are usually covered by the ensembles themselves.

avoir vécu l’expérience ECma, c’est avoir vécu une aventure humaine et artistique qui a façonné et soudé notre trio d’une manière déterminante, et qui marquera toute notre vie de musicien.trIo AtAnAssov

ECma is ThE chamber music programme! We learned more about the repertoire and about music there, and we met incredible and enthusiastic teachers. many thanks for everything!trIo cHAUsson

Ecma è la casa dei giovani quartetti QUArteto DI creMonA

Thanks to its mentors, ECma possesses the power to motivate each and every ensemble on a highly individual level, with every course exciting and every new piece of information a discovery. it’s an adventure in living through music, inspiring us to improve ourselves as musicians.gIocoso strIng QUArtet

ECma is where we developed our ability to speak in music.gAlAteA QUArtet

it is very important for me to be part of this fantastic teaching experience, focused on how to transfer a wonderful musical language made of beauty and purity, sharing it with the most promising musicians.MIgUel DA sIlvA

For the teachers and students at the academy in oslo, it is a great inspiration to be a member of ECma. it enables us to connect with the best of European traditions in a wonderful way.arE sandbaKKEn, norGEs musiKKhØGsKolE


ECma a însemnat una din cele mai importante etape pentru dezvoltarea noastră ca ansamblu, și mai mult decât atât, a fost și este ca o familie pentru noi. ECma este locul unde am învăţat ce înseamnă muzica de cameră în toate aspectele ei profunde, alături de personalităţi marcante ale vieţii muzicale internaţionale.ArcADIA QUArtet

The paris Conservatoire’s participation in ECma has lent an invaluable European dimension to our chamber music programme, one that has had a transformative effect on participating trios and quartets. Transformative in that it has enabled these musicians to develop their international professional networks and, thanks to the exceptional musicians involved and the breadth of the artistic and contextual approaches specific to different regions of Europe, to enhance and indeed grow a “European” musical discourse whilst forging their own musical identities. in paris, we have sought to showcase both French repertoire and music-making with the specificities of Conservatoire training while also inte grating the city’s vast cultural resources – the re-opening of the picasso museum, for example.BrUno MAntovAnI, director, Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de paris

die arbeit mit den großartigen musikern bei der ECma hat uns im Kopf viele Türen geöffnet, uns neue Wege für unsere interpretation gezeigt und uns immer wieder zu diskussionen und zur reflexion über unser spiel angeregt.die Gemeinschaft mit den anderen Ensembles, die sich für denselben musikalischen Weg entschieden haben, war schön zu erleben, und dies hat uns in unserer Entscheidung für die Kammermusik immer wieder bestärkt und bestätigt. Es war eine spannende Zeit, von der wir noch immer profitieren!BoUlAnger trIo

bez European Chamber music academy z pewnością nie bylibyśmy w miejscu, w którym obecnie się znajdujemy. szczególnie intensywna współpraca z Johannesem meisslem i hatto beyerle pomogła nam zbudować solidne podstawy kwartetu i miała istotny wpływ na obecny charakter zespołu.APollon MUsAgète QUArtet

For us in oslo, the opportunity to access the best impulses in European chamber music represents a great enrichment. and at our oslo sessions, it was important to us that the ECma participants have a chance to experience the highlights of our norwegian cultural history. in the midst of our session venue’s beautiful natural surroundings, we visited art museums and listened to folk music, with the participants also dancing folk dances themselves.norges MUsIKKHØgsKole

For us, ECma is one of the greatest sources of inspiration. it offers us everything we need in order to develop: concert appearances, intensive musical work with great musical personalities, detailed work on quartet technique, and – thanks to the lectures – honing of our intellectual awareness.PAcIFIc QUArtet vIennA

ECma is much more than an extra ordinary chamber music academy with the best tutors and the most stimulating young European ensembles: it goes beyond professional training to link music, philosophy, and language in a unique way that seeks to apprehend the heart of our European culture via soctratic-style teach-ing and critical thinking.cUArteto QUIrogA

ECma has truly been a blessing for us. streeton trIo

Ever since we first heard of ECma, it was our dream to become a member. ECma allows you not only to expand your horizons in terms of musical perception, but also to enhance your communication skills and didactic knowledge while having a chance to immerse yourself in the cultures of other countries. For our lives and our career together, we view ECma as being of inestimeable value, and we’re very glad that we can be part of it.PIAno trIo FortvIo

ECmassa vietetyt vuodet olivat käänteentekeviä urallamme, niin monet oppimamme asiat musiikista ovat läsnä jokapäiväisessä työssä ja elämässämme.Köyhää olisi elämämme ilman ECmaa.KAMUs QUArtet


Without ECma, our group wouldn’t exist as we do today. it enormously helped our musicality, and it also helped us in terms of learning the language and finding music’s secret beauty.에크마 없이는 지금 우리의 그룹이 현재처럼 존재하지 않을 것입니다.trIo gAsPArD

The European Chamber music academy offers what every young ensemble dreams of: regular training with the most accomplished mentors you can find anywhere in the world. Though their perspectives differ, they’re united by a common impetus. This impetus is like oxygen for a young ensemble, and in an ECma session, young ensembles and incredible pedagogues breath the same air. indeed, one of the unique features of ECma is the opportunity to really get to know the tutors: in a very convivial atmosphere, we can prolong the lessons with talks around a glass at Café schwarzenberg in Vienna or share opinions on a musical subject after a lecture ... and all this is very stimulating. in a nutshell, ECma is a true musician’s music course! L’ ECma, une fête de la conscience musicale!trIo KArénIne

ECmassa vietetyt vuodet valoivat meta4:n kivijalan ja olivat ratkaisevat meidän koko olemassaololle. ECma avasi meille suoran yhteyden jousik vartetin synnyinlähteille, on vaikea kuvitella inspiroivempaa opiskeluympäristöä nuorelle jousikvartetille.MetA4

ECma war für uns ein wunderbarer und unvergesslicher, auch intensiver abschnitt in unseren Quartettanfängen! die ersten begegnungen und unterrichtsstunden mit Legenden der musikgeschichte wie norbert brainin-amadeus Quartett, milan Škampa-smetana Quartett und großen persönlichkeiten des aktuellen Konzertgeschehens waren prägende, unvergessliche momente für die wir sehr dankbar sind! das Gemeinschaftsgefühl mit den vielen anderen ECma-Gruppen, also Gleichges-innten wurde in den sessions vertieft. die Vorträge, Workshops und gemeinsamen Konzerte motivierten zu höchstleistungen. sehr gut in Erinnerung sind uns vor allem Fiesole, Zürich, Groß raming und Wien.MInettI QUArtett
