International Chamber Music Campus (6-17 September 2017)
Since 1956 Jeunesses Musicales Deutschlandhas endeavored to support and highlight the artistic achievements of young chamber music ensembles. Through its core values of quality, authenticity and community, the chamber music course challenges each group to realize its potential.
World class teachers guarantee a chamber music experience at the highest level. The teacher-student interaction at JMD goes far beyond that of a conventional summer course; in Weikersheim, every professor seeks to discover and mold the individual identity of each young group.Daily lessons expand each young musician‘s horizons through musical reflection and exposure to different points of view. Likewise, the intense daily rehearsal schedule and interaction with colleagues from different countries encourage students to go beyond their own boundaries and limitations.
Ensembles are offered the opportunity to perform publicly in a series of concerts, one of which will be recorded for radio broadcast. Concert promoters are invited to the performances and an internal prize granted by the Friends of Jeunesses Musicales is awarded to the ‚Most Promising Newcomer‘. Thanks to generous donations from public and private sponsors, scholarships are also available to students demonstrating need.
Application and Admission
Application is intended for chamber music ensembles already existing and aiming for a professional career. All selected participants will receive scholarships by Jeunesses Musicales Germany and only have to cover a general fee for accommodation and administration.
A jury will select the ensembles to be invited based on their artistic potential. All applicants will receive a positive or negative response by mid-June 2017. There will be a waiting list, from which ensembles may move up, should other ensembles fail to confirm their participation. Invited ensembles are requested to validate their participation by transferring the accommodation fee of 350 € per person. Under given circumstances ensembles may apply reduction of the fees, when sufficient reasons are put forward. An approval to this request is optional.
Applications can be made online until 31 May 2017 at www.icmc.jeunessesmusicales.de
