Musique Cordiale Academy 3 – 10 August 2013

Continuing the tradition of the Music Academy for young musicians as an

integral part of the annual International Musique Cordiale Music Festival,

this season we are offering an enhanced programme for young players of

orchestral instruments for capable students aged between 13 and 17. The

students will receive private instruction and coaching in chamber music. All

players will perform in a chamber music concert and the strings will perform

with the Musique Cordiale Orchestra, each student playing next to a

professional player. This will also allow students to collaborate with other

young musicians participating in Musique-Cordiale from several of the Arts

universities, conservatoires and music schools of Europe. (Main working

language will be English: French, Dutch & German also spoken. Voertaal is

Engels: Frans, Nederlands en Duits ook gesproken).

Application requirements:

video including 2 contrasting solos (or solo fragments) with accompaniment. • Deadline for the applications is usually 30 June though later applications

may be considered; but please contact us NOW if you are considering apply-

ing this year – and then apply as early as possible. •

The fee for the week, including meals and accommodation plus participation

in all events will be 500€ (possibility of bursaries available). Participants are

bership fee. A deposit of 50€, which includes the non-returnable membership

The Academy will again be directed by

Skye will this year be working with Jane Hyland , an experienced cellist and teacher

from London who will be her co-instructor & mentor to the students throughout the
