Rather\, it can serve in particular as targeted preparation for concerts or competitions – including Jugend Musiziert 2026. \n\nYoung students and piano pupils preparing for entrance examinations can also benefit from Uwe Zeutzheim’s extensive experience in this field. If desired\, personal guidance regarding study opportunities and admission requirements at the Peter Cornelius Conservatory in Mainz is available. The course also provides an excellent platform for students and piano teachers who wish to continue their professional development.\n \nThe course concludes with a joint piano concert\, in which the results are presented to the public.\n\n\nUwe Zeutzheim\, a native of Boppard on the Middle Rhine\, leads a piano class at the renowned Peter Cornelius Conservatory in Mainz\, working with dedicated pupils\, young students\, and advanced students alike. Numerous national and international competition successes by his students testify to his effective teaching. \n\n\nA trusting\, fear-free atmosphere forms the foundation of his pedagogical work\, offering space for individual and creative development. Awakening enthusiasm and passion for music and for a composer\, and jointly discovering paths to sonic and musical expression\, are central impulses for engaged and expressive piano playing. \n\n\nTailored to each individual’s strengths and potential\, and based on a solid technical foundation\, Uwe Zeutzheim places particular emphasis on authentic\, natural expression and a colorful\, nuanced piano tone—key prerequisites for a style of playing that feels narrative and alive. \n\n\nRepertoire: \nPiano solo literature from all eras: From Baroque through Classical and Romantic to contemporary music. \n\n\nAccommodation: \n \nStudents are hosted on a shared room basis in a beautiful villa on the bank of the Rhine river. \nMeals:  \nA kitchen is available for cooking; groceries can be bought in a nearby supermarket. Group shopping is advised. A different team can do the cooking daily\, which can be organize in situ. \nRooms: \nCommitted to the spirit of romanticism\, all masterclasses offered by the Sankt Goar International Music Festival and Academy unite everything under one roof: living\, learning\, eating and sleeping.

DESCRIPTION:Teacher\nDates\nCourse Details\nAccommodation\nRegistration\nCosts\nImpressions\n\n\nTeacher: \n© Irène Zandel\nBorn in the region of Frankfurt/Main\, Konrad Maria Engel grew up in a mainly scientifically oriented family. However it came clear already during his early childhood that music would be his vocation some day. More than a dozen scholarships\, awards and many prizes at international competitions reinforced that impression over the years\, most importantly to mention the German National Music Competition\, Bach-Competition Leipzig and a first prize at the international Chopin-Competition Hanover. \nHis concert career – now almost 40 years of stage experience – took him all over the northern hemisphere\, across Europe\, Asia and the US. As a soloist he performed with numerous renowned orchestras and at several international festivals. His repertoire did never exclude any style or period and included all kinds of keyboards from cembalo to fortepiano and various historic grand pianos. \nSince his younger days Konrad Engel is also very much dedicated to chamber music and Kunstlied. Just to mention a few long term highlights\, there was the applauded „Trio Corrado” together with Konradin Seitzer (Violin) and Konrad Haesler (Cello) as well as various performances together with Leonid Gorokhov\, Markus Becker\, Mareike Morr\, Sharon Kam and many other renowned partners. Beyond that he was member of bigger ensembles as well as conducting two chamber orchestras for several years. \nOver the last two decades he discovered his great passion for teaching and rather focused his career on education since several years. After getting first experiences in teaching at the municipal music school Hanover\, a lectureship at the University for Arts Bremen in 2011 was an important leap. \nFrom 2012 to 2018 he held a substitutional professorship at Hanover Music University\, where he first got in touch with the education of highly talented young students. In 2017 he got a full professorship at the University „Hanns Eisler“ Berlin and the honour to become head of piano department at the „Musikgymnasium C.P.E. Bach“ in addition. \nBy now amongst his students are many prizewinners at international competitions such as Sendai/Japan\, Aarhus/Denmark\, Mendelssohn/Berlin\, Schumann/Zwickau\, Liszt/Weimar etc. \nHe started his own academic studies in music education at Hannover Music University and \nfinished his third Diploma with the „Konzertexamen“ in 2006 after being a student of Karl-Heinz Kämmerling for many years. His education was also enriched by important impulses from John O’Conor (Wilhelm-Kempff-Academy Positano)\, Bernhard Wetz and Gerhard Schroth (Frankfurt) as well as chamber music lessons by Vassilia Efstathiadou\, Antje Weithaas\, Grainne Dunne. \nIn his sparse free time Konrad Engel is interested in many other subjects\, such as astronomy and technology but also visual arts\, history and philosophy – never to forget about classic cars. \nHis motto actually couldn’t be described better than in Eisler’s words: „Who seeks to understand music only\, won’t understand music at all.“ \n\n\nDates:  \n\nArrival: Wednesday\, May 28\, 2025\, until 2 pm \nClosing concert: June 1st\, 2025\, 5 pm \nDeparture: June 2nd\, 2025\, after 2 pm \n\n\nCourse Description: \n\nPiano-works from all periods: from Baroque over Classic and Romantic to Modern Music; preparation for exams\, concerts and competitions \nRepertoire: \nPiano solo or for four hands           \n\n\nAccommodation: \n \nStudents are hosted on a shared room basis in a beautiful villa on the bank of the Rhine river. \nMeals:  \nA kitchen is available for cooking; groceries can be bought in a nearby supermarket.

DESCRIPTION:Teachers\nDates\nCourse Details\nAccommodation\nRegistration\nCosts\nImpressions\n\n\nTeachers: \n© Neda Navaee\nWhen Olha Chipak and Oleksiy Kushnir first met in 1998 while studying at the Lviv Music Academy in Ukraine\, they could not have imagined where their musical partnership would take them. What they certainly knew\, however\, was that from that point on they would not only pursue a career as solo artists but also devote themselves to an equal degree to performing chamber music. They soon won their first international competition together (“Roma 98”)\, but the piano duo—like Emil Gilels and Sviatoslav Richter she is from the legendary music metropolis Odessa on the Black Sea\, he from the cultural melting pot of Lviv\, where the first music conservatory in the Ukraine was founded as early as 1786—sought more than recognition by juries. \nThus their path as a duo took them to the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Rostock where they majored in piano duo performance with Hans-Peter and Volker Stenzl and in 2006 completed their degree in piano ensemble performance (concert exam – Konzertexamen). \nThe two have since begun to work at the institution as docents for piano and piano duo. \nThe duo has won numerous international competitions: \n1st prize – Rom-98 (international competition) \n2nd prize – TIM (Torneo Internazionale di Musica) (2000) \n2nd prize – Chamber music competition in Caltanissetta (2000) \n1st prize – “Premio Seiler“ in Palermo (2002) \n2nd prize – “Palma d’Oro“ in Finale Ligure (2002) \n1st prize – Piano duo competition in Bialystok (Poland) (2002) \n1st prize – “Piano duo in 20th century“ (Premio Valentino Bucchi) (2003) \n2nd prize – Dranoff International Two Piano Competition in Miami (2003) \n1st prize – San Marino Piano competition (2006) \nWinners of the International Web Concert Hall Competition (2012) \nSuccess at these competitions led to concert performances at important venues in many European countries\, the U.S.\, and China as well as guest performances at festivals such as the Festival “Virtuosi”(Ukraine)\, the Piano Festival in Trieste (Italy)\, the “Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern”. The artistry of the duo is documented in recordings for NDR (North German Radio)\, BR-Classic (Bayern Radio) and television and radio recordings in the Ukraine\, Poland and San Marino. \nwww.chipak-kushnir.de \n\n\nDates:  \nArrival: Wednesday\, April 23rd\, 2025\, until 12 p.m.\nClosing concert: Saturday\, April 26\, 2025\, at 6 p.m.\nDeparture: Sunday\, April 27\, 2025\, until 2 p.m. \n\n\nCourse Description: \nThe course is open to students and advanced young pianists\, whether preparing for immediate exams\, competitions\, projects\, or simply navigating through their studies. Tailored specifically for piano duos (four hands or on two pianos) looking for new inspirations. \nParticipants from the “Jugend musiziert” Competition 2025 in the chamber music category are warmly welcome for the finishing touches. \n\n\nAccommodation: \n© Falko Hönisch\nStudents are hosted on a shared room basis in a beautiful villa on the bank of the Rhine river. \nMeals:  \nA kitchen is available for cooking; groceries can be bought in a nearby supermarket.

DESCRIPTION:Teacher\nCourse Details\nAccommodation\nRegistration\nCosts\nImpressions\n\n\nTeacher:  \nHardy Rittner is a pioneer in the field of historically informed performance of nineteenth century keyboard music. At the same time he is a member of a new generation of pianists who are at home both on period instruments and on the modern concert grand piano\, interpreting a repertoire extending to contemporary music. \nHardy focuses on researching Chopin and making his insights tangible in concert performances. Hardy’s book “Die vergessene Cantilene. Frédéric Chopin’s misunderstood virtuosity” (dissertation for Dr. phil.\, publication in September 2022) brings new insights into the performance of Chopin’s music. Its key finding is that Chopin pursued a ‘vocal ideal’ influenced by bel canto (amongst others) even in his virtuoso passages. The book propagates a fundamentally different Chopin playing and leads to the conclusion that previous reference interpretations do not correspond to Chopin’s intentions. Hardy’s expertise shaped the new Chopin editions by Bärenreiter\, where Hardy introduces notes on performance practice and fingerings based on historical models. \nHardy has performed in most European countries at such distinguished venues as Philharmonie Berlin\, Konzerthaus Berlin\, Alte Oper Frankfurt\, Kurhaus Wiesbaden\, Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal\, Rudolf-Oetker-Halle Bielefeld\, and Tonhalle Düsseldorf. Concert engagements have also led Hardy to the United States\, Canada\, China\, South Korea\, and Taiwan. \nFor the Detmold label MDG\, the two-time Echo Klassik laureate has recorded the first complete rendition – on period instruments – of Johannes Brahms’s solo piano music; his discography includes a live recording of Brahms’s first piano concerto with the historically informed l’arte del mondo orchestra (conductor: Werner Ehrhardt)\, Chopin’s complete études\, and Arnold Schönberg’s piano oeuvre. \nHardy received fellowships from Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes and Herbert-von-Karajan-Centrum Vienna. From 2009−2012\, he was supported by Bayer Kultur as a stART-Künstler. \nAfter studying piano and fortepiano with Karl-Heinz Kämmerling and Siegbert Rampe at Mozarteum Salzburg\, Hardy continued his education at Universität der Künste Berlin\, where he studied piano with Klaus Hellwig (“Konzertexamen”) and music theory (“Diplom”) with Hartmut Fladt. Christian Zacharias\, Krystian Zimerman\, Ivo Pogorelich\, Maria J. Pires\, and Sylvain Cambreling were also among those who contributed to his education as a performing artist. \nHardy is a professor for piano and artistic research at Musikhochschule Freiburg and gives masterclasses in Germany and abroad. \n\n\nDates:  \n\nArrival: Thursday\, January 4\, 2024\, until 2 pm \nClosing concert: Sunday\, January 7\, 2024\, 5 pm \nDeparture: Monday\, January 8\, 2024\, after 2 pm \nCourse Description: \n\nPiano-works from all periods: from Baroque over Classic and Romantic to Modern Music; preparation for exams\, concerts and competitions \nRepertoire: \nPiano solo or for four hands           \n\n\nAccommodation: \n \n  \nStudents are hosted on a shared room basis in a beautiful villa on the bank of the Rhine river. \nMeals:  \nA kitchen is available for cooking; groceries can be bought in a nearby supermarket.

SUMMARY:[:en]ART SONG "Conteporary Music is not dissonant per se"- Prof. Hendrik Bräunlich (University of Music and Theatre "Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy" Leipzig)[:de]LIED „Neue Musik ist nicht per se dissonant“ - Prof. Hendrik Bräunlich (Hochschule für Musik und Theater „Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy“ Leipzig)[:]
DESCRIPTION:Teacher\nDates\nCourse Details\nAccommodation\nRegistration\nCosts\n\n\nTeacher: \nHendrik Bräunlich\, was born in Leipzig. Prof. Bräunlich’s pianistic talent\, as well as his general involvement in music have been nurtured since early childhood. \nFrom 1986 to 1992 he studied at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater (Music Conservatory) “Felix Mendelssohn Bertholdy” in Leipzig with emphasis on vocal accompaniment\, piano solo and instrumental accompaniment.  There\, under the tutelage of Maestro Eugen Wangler\, he developed a love for the singing voice\, and a passion for accompanying it. \nFrom 1992 to 1997 he studied song interpretation in the postgraduate program at the same conservatory with Lied professor and mentor Prof. Karl-Peter Kammerlander\,  During this same period he was given the opportunity to work privately with Charles Spencer\, with whom he studied most extensively\, and Prof. Hartmut Höll – both great lied interpreters. In addition\, he accompanied master classes of well-known singers such as Elisabeth Schwarzkopf\, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau\, Peter Schreier\, Thomas Hampson and Jakob Stämpfli.  Mr. Stämpli\, impressed with his work\, invited him to accompany a master class in Sion (Suisse) during the Tibor Varga Festival. \nProf. Bräunlich’s success at the Varga Festival as well as his association with other famous artists led to additional invitations to accompany international singing competitions  such as the Schumann in Zwickau and the Bach in Leipzig. Charles Spencer used his influence to introduce Mr. Bräunlich to world-renowned mezzo-soprano\, Christa Ludwig\, with whom he became associated for many years – accompanying her master classes in Gumpoldskirchen near Vienna\, Wiener Musikverein\, Villecroze in France and a national conference of German-speaking singing teachers in Halle/Saale\,) to name a few. \nProf. Bräunlich’s accompanying skills were indeed also acknowledged by the fact that he himself became a prize-winner: in 1993 he won the Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Prize in Berlin\,  and in the same year\, the accompanying prize at the International Singing Competition in Tauberbischofsheim. In 1994 he received an award at the International Brahms Singing Competition in Hamburg\, and in the 1997 Deutscher Musikwettbewerb awarded him a scholarship. In 1998 he was prize-winner at the first International Hilde Zadek Singing Competition in Passau. \nThe attention generated by these German music competitions enabled Prof. Bräunlich to start a concert career.  It also resulted in repeated invitations to accompany the above-mentioned competitions and master classes. \nProf. Bräunlich has recorded for all major German broadcasters. He has also participated in various CD projects\, including the first recording of Lieder by Georg Göhler.  Other CD recordings include “Hausmusik bei Schumanns” with the Calmus Vocal Ensemble Leipzig\, and the award-winning CD of the clarinetist Nicola Jürgensen. \nIn 1992 Prof. Bräunlich was offered a permanent full-time teaching position at the Leipzig Conservatory; the association with this institution continues to this day.  The pedagogical commitment he has to his students\, and his support of their individual development is obviously enriched by his personal history of performing and accompanying. \nIn 2005\, under the auspices of the ERASMUS exchange program\, he was invited – together with Leipzig Conservatory Voice Prof. Dr. Jeanette Favaro-Reuter – to participate in coaching Lieder of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy at the Royal College of Music in London. During this period he also tought during the  Leipzig Summer Courses of Puccini’s “Tosca” as well as master classes of clarinettist Allan Key and Prof. Dr. Favaro-Reuter. \nOver the last years Prof. Bräunlich has offered classes\, free of charge\, at the Leipzig Conservatory with primary emphasis on Piano Lied literature of the 20th and 21st centuries. He has offered addition classes on topics such as “Robert Schumann´s Lieder” and “Claude Debussy´s Lieder and Chants”. \nHis involvement with 20th and 21st century Lied has led Prof. Bräunlich to an even greater concentration on contemporary music. In 2022\, together with soprano Lisa Fornhammar\, he developed a special New Music Program. The theme for the 2023/24 session is “New Music is not per se dissonant”. \n\n\nDates:  \n\nArrival: Thursday\, July 20\, 2023\, until 2 pm \nClosing concert: Sunday\, July 23\, 2023\, 5 pm \nDeparture: Monday\, July 24\, 2023\, after 2 pm \n\n\nCourse Description: \n\nDieser Kurs möchte nach Möglichkeit mit Duos arbeiten. Diese können wir auch gemeinsam zusammenstellen. Wobei es nicht darauf ankommt\, ob jede teilnehmende Person nur mit einer anderen Person zusammenarbeitet. Es können gerade die Pianistinnen. zw. Pianisten auch mit mehreren Gesangspartnerinnen bzw. -partnern zusammen musizieren. \nSo habe ich es selbst bei Wettbewerben während der Runden mit einigen Teilnehmenden zu tun gehabt\, was meine Qualität nicht minderte. Meine Idee ist folgende: Jeder teilnehmende  Person sucht sich eine bis zwei Liedgruppen aus und bereitet diese vor. Dann können wir während der Kurstage an den Liedern arbeiten und das Erarbeitete zum Schluss in einem Abschlusskonzert vorstellen. \nDies setzt voraus\, dass jeder seine Stücke handwerklich gut parat hat\, um damit arbeiten zu können. Die Programmfolge des Konzertes sollte dann auch der meiner Ankündigung entsprechen. \nRepertoire: Neue Musik ist nicht per se dissonant \nIch habe ein Programm zusammengestellt\, welches den tonalen Aspekt der Stücke in den Mittelpunkt rückt. Denn wir sind es gewohnt\, nach atonalen Klängen meist eine Auflösung in Form einer Konsonanz zu erwarten. Und diese gibt es in erstaunlich vielen Liedern der Neuen Musik. \nDas Programm beginnt mit drei Liedern aus den „Walzergesängen\, Op. 6“ von Alexander von Zemlinsky. Diese sind\, wie er selbst äußerte\, nicht modern\, sondern im Spätromantischen verwurzelt. \nNr. 1 Liebe Schwalbe\nNr. 5 Blaues Sternlein\nNr. 6 Briefchen schrieb ich \nDanach zwei Brettl-Lieder des Entdeckers der Dodekaphonie\, Arnold Schönberg. Diese insgesamt acht Lieder (zwischen April und September 1901 komponiert) gehen auf sein Engagement als Leiter de Berliner Cabaretts Überbrettl zurück. \nZwei davon habe ich ausgewählt: Gigerlette und Arie aus dem Spiegel von Arkadien \nDarauf folgen die vielleicht berühmtesten Schüler\, nämlich Anton von  Webern und Alban Berg. Zuerst Webern. Er kommt\, wie auch sein Lehrer und sein Mitschüler Berg\, aus der Tradition der Wiener Spätromantik. Nur in wenigen  Klängen meint man das Kommende zu hören\, eher zu ahnen\, die musikalische Struktur steht noch ganz im Zeichen der Tradition: Vorfrühling\, Blumengruss\, Fromm und Heiter \nDann Alban Berg\, dem Romantiker der Zweiten Wiener Schule. Von ihm habe ich die quasi nicht explizit „Neuen Lieder“ ausgewählt\, nämlich aus den “Sieben frühen Liedern: Die Nachtigall  und Im Zimmer. \nDer „zweiten Wiener Schule“ folgt ein anderer österreichischer Komponist\, Gottfried von Einem. Von ihm habe ich ein Lied gewählt aus seinen „Zwölf Tag- und Nachtliedern“. Das Stück „Eine Treppe abwärts steigend“ zeigt seine Individualität gut und vermittelt trotzdem nicht das Quere der Neuen Musik. \nNach dem ersten Teil mit ausschließlich deutschsprachigen Tonsetzern gibt es einen zweiten Teil mit amerikanischen Komponisten. Diese haben sich \, vor allem nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg\, eine guten Ruf gemacht im ansonsten eher prüden Amerika: Zuerst ein Komponist mit sizilianischen Wurzeln\, Dominick Argento. Er fühte sich zeitlebens zur Musik George Gershwins und zur amerikanischen Vokalmusik hingezogen. Von ihm habe ich aus seinem Zyklus “Six Elizabethan Songs” folgende ausgesucht: Diaphenia und Hymn \nIhm folgt ein eher sich der leichteren Klassik verpflichtender Musiker\, Marc Blitzstein. Er komponierte häufig für den Film und so habe ich gedacht\, diese besondere Farbe mit ins Programm zu nehmen. Der Song „I wish it so“ steht ganz in der Linie der für den Film geschaffenen Titel. Nach Blitzstein folgt ein unter anderem mit dem Pulitzer-Preis ausgezeichneten Samuel Barber ein weiterer Amerikaner. Er war nicht nur Komponist\, sondern auch Bariton. Und vielleicht hat er deshalb seine Lieder so eingänhig komponiert. \nZuerst „Sure of this shining night“\, dann das wesentlich düsterere „The Crucifiction“. Zum Schluss noch ein weiterer sehr wichtiger und bedeutender amerikanischer Komponist\, Leonard Bernstein. \nDieser\, aus jüdischer Familie stammend\, war ein extrem erfolgreicher Musikvermittler. Und als Komponist ist uns allen wahrscheinlich seine „West Side Story“ bekannt\, einer Musical-Oper. Aber er hat auch Lieder vertont\, unter anderem den Zyklus „I hate music“. Und aus diesem habe ich den namensgebenden Titelsong ausgewählt. \n\n\nAccommodation: \n \nStudents are hosted on a shared room basis in a beautiful villa on the bank of the Rhine river. \nMeals:  \nA kitchen is available for cooking; groceries can be bought in a nearby supermarket.

The spiritual text of a Beethoven inspires me. The romantic urging of a Chopin is changed into emphasis and the humour of a Haydn exhilarates me. Contemporary compositions arouse diverse methods of approach in me. My most essential experience dealing with music is the extraction of energy from playing. \nI have always felt the urge to pass my experiences on to students. Thereby\, a fertile collaboration can only take place when a relationship of trust is established between teacher and student. Thus\, space can be created for the pursuit of something new and for the imprint of one’s own imagination. Thereby\, it is necessary to open oneself to a new language without denying cultural roots\, as well as\, to welcome challenges and stimulations. The musician should be aware of the responsibility towards the composition and should embrace the composer selflessly to give an authentic performance. Patience should be combined with reflection\, musical intelligence\, and practical organisation\, in order to find a place within today’s music scene.“ \n\n\nAccommodation: \nStudents are hosted on a shared room basis in a beautiful villa on the bank of the Rhine river. \nMeals:  \nA kitchen is available for cooking; groceries can be bought in a nearby supermarket.
