GR AFENEGG ACADEMY
Selina Pilz viola
Something that makes the Grafenegg Academy unique, and one of the things I liked most about it, was how it combined contemporary and classical works in the concerts. It was very special to be able to play such a wide range of music, because it makes you realise that in the end, no matter the genre, the ‘musical message’ is more similar than we might think.
Over the ten days, the schedule was tight and quite tiring, but it was very rewarding as the concerts turned out very well. The schedule included private lessons with tutors, string rehearsals, orchestral rehearsals, masterclasses and workshops on managing our lives as artists. The tutors were world-class and gave so many unique tips on how to survive as an artist in the industry, and other things such as preparing for auditions. We also had lots of different concerts throughout the programme. I particularly liked our first concert, which was called ‘Late-Night Format’. It was streamed online, and also had a live audience. Each piece had unique lighting and stage design. And I also loved the transitions between the pieces, because it created a special arc throughout the evening. Thinking outside the box like this is something my generation of musicians needs to think about, so it was invaluable to have experience in it.
Everyone at the academy worked towards the goal of making music together, so there was a very nice atmosphere. There is a river nearby where we went swimming or played cards in the breaks. And once the whole orchestra went to a traditional Austrian wine tavern with home-made food. And the campus is beautiful, in the Lower Austrian countryside, with two concert halls, an open-air stage and a castle.

MUSIC AT PORT MILFORD CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL AND SUMMER SCHOOL (see page 11)
Avital LaCroix violin/viola
I first heard about the Port Milford school when my sister went in 2019. It seemed like a fun time, so I decided to go to the online programme in 2021 and returned in person in 2022 and 2023. It was also very handy that it’s so close to us. The place is really pretty and we’re staying in cabins – a bit like we’re out in the wild! If you stay for both sessions, you’re there for four weeks, and it’s a combination of both chamber and orchestral music. I particularly liked the chamber side of things. The faculty members always give really good advice. And seeing as I play both violin and viola, I was able to play both instruments in different chamber groups, which was a great opportunity. Altogether I was in eight chamber groups! It’s a great way to get experience with sightreading a lot of music.
Alongside rehearsals on our main instruments, we sing in a choir, usually after dinner. At lunch breaks we’ll then go and sing optional madrigals by the lake. I always really enjoyed doing that, and it helped with my playing too. After lunch we also have ‘quiet time’, which is dedicated to just relaxing and doing things other than music. You can go out in nature or take a nap.
I decided to go back because I really enjoyed the community of people. Everyone is really nice to be around. If you’re not sure whether you want to apply, then maybe you can just try out one session for two weeks and if you like it, then do both sessions the following year. Either way, you should definitely try it out!

MORITZBURG FESTIVAL ACADEMY
Alejandro Gomez cello
The Moritzburg Academy is two weeks long. One week is for chamber music and the other for orchestral music. Probably my favourite part of the academy is the chamber music, and how deeply we can engage with it. It’s a way of connecting people from around the world in very little time. And there’s something so enriching about this. The academy has such a warm atmosphere, which allows for these connections to happen and for us really to learn from each other. It’s so valuable to be around lots of different opinions and ways of thinking. I remember playing in an octet with players who came from the US. My musical education has always been very European, so it was really nice to have such a different perspective and learn from it.
I also really enjoy the fact that at the academy one has lots of experiences outside music too. These help you develop as an artist and person, and consequently affects your playing. Each time I go, I love talking to the other players and tutors. It makes me grow every time, and I really think that each artist has something to say and a sort of life to talk about. We are also able to attend the concerts at the festival that are happening at the same time and we have different activities, like having barbecues, outside rehearsals and concerts.
I think that as musicians we can sometimes be afraid of new experiences, but going into situations where you might not be completely comfortable at first is incredibly valuable. I would really recommend somewhere like Moritzburg if you want to go to a place where you're in the best environment to grow. Everyone comes in at a high level and is very welcoming. And if that weren’t enough, the place is absolutely beautiful!

IN MY EXPERIENCE Player
GR APPELLI-DJANGO CAMP, NETHERL ANDS (see page 19)
Laila Nysten violin
Before attending the Grappelli-Django camp, I was already improvising, but never in the Grappelli-Django style. During the pandemic I started listening to the style and found a track I particularly liked. I looked into who the player was – Tim Kliphuis – and where he was teaching. It turned out he was a tutor at this camp, so that’s when I decided I had to apply! I’ve now been three times.
The first time I attended, it was amazing to be introduced to this whole wide world of Grappelli-Django lovers, and it has completely changed my life. I’m now studying for a master’s in jazz violin. The camp has a unique sense of community. It really feels like an extended family. There’s a huge range of ages and everyone looks out for each other to make sure no one is left out. There’s no competition or pressure; it’s just a group of people sharing their love for this type of music.
The camp runs from Thursday to Sunday and includes so many different activities. For instrument workshops, we are sorted into level-appropriate groups, and have at least one workshop a day, each time with a different tutor. There are also topic workshops on different subjects, such as the history of gypsy jazz. And in the ensemble classes you can experience the feeling of playing in a band. There are also guided jams and a tutors’ concert on the Saturday evening, which is always such great quality!
The amount of knowledge I gain every time I attend is incredible. And being around people from such different backgrounds, levels and ages makes you feel so united about your love for the genre. I always come back so inspired. It’s now even given me the idea of setting up my own guided jamming group in my home city!

IN MY EXPERIENCE Player
NEW VIRTUOSI INTERNATIONAL VIOLIN MASTERCOURSE
Flora Clapham violin
One of my favourite aspects of the New Virtuosi Mastercourse is the breadth of performance opportunities. I attended the course in April 2023 at St Edward’s School, Oxford, and over the week we performed in daily concerts, masterclasses and even a ‘Work in Progress’ concert to try out new repertoire. There were two gala concerts, one in St James’s Piccadilly in London, and the other at the school in Oxford, where as well as solo performances, we played together in the ensemble.
Alongside our intensive work in lessons and rehearsals with pianists we took Dalcroze Eurhythmics classes, which gave us the opportunity to put the violin aside, take a step back and consider the building blocks of music. We used objects such as tennis balls, scarves and giant elastic bands to connect with rhythms, melodies and gestures, providing us with new ways of approaching our own repertoire.
New Virtuosi has encouraged me to take pride in my musicianship, and to absorb everything I can from teachers and friends. Every day, we provided an audience for our peers and I think that is one of the reasons that we all got to know each other and formed such a warm community. During the week we attended a faculty concert, including a performance by guest artist Elly Suh, and were introduced to the world of violin making in a fascinating lecture by Florian Leonhard. We also went on an outing to the nearby Ashmolean museum to visit the 'Messiah' Stradivari on display there.
The course is built to help us become conscious musicians, as well as robust violinists. Of course we practise scales, but importantly we’re actively thinking about how we can create compelling musical performances. I came home from New Virtuosi with the satisfying feeling of having improved as a violinist.

IN MY EXPERIENCE Player
MARK WOOD ROCK ORCHESTR A CAMP
Noah Gruenberg electric violin
I’ve been to the Mark Wood Rock Orchestra Camp for twelve years now – I’m definitely a long-time trooper! I’ve developed so much since my first camp. I think I might owe them everything. When I first came thirteen years ago, I hadn’t even thought of becoming a professional violinist. And now I’m getting a graduate degree in electric violin, which wouldn’t have been possible without Mark and his camp. What has made me come back is ultimately the people. It’s such a positive and collaborative environment. You might have the most ridiculous idea but people will not only say they love it, but that they’ll help you make it a reality!
The camp is a week long and includes so many different activities. Other than orchestra practice, and rehearsals with smaller groups with players of your skill level, we also have classes on looping, contemporary theory, composition, music production and more. The orchestra is a fully electric string orchestra. It’s so cool to have a hundred people plugged into amps, and accompanied by synth players, a drummer, bass, guitar and vocals.
The definition of ‘rock’ music is kept relatively vague, which means we can be exposed to lots of different genres. For the lower-level orchestra, they can execute a pop-rock song with simple harmonies very well, and in the higher-level orchestra, it means we get to venture into more complicated styles like 1970s prog rock: my type of music!
The camp is quite intense, with hours of playing every day. It’s so wonderful to be around upbeat and passionate people who share the same ideas as you. And Mark has curated the dream team of tutors. For anyone who’s not sure whether to apply, I’d tell them to give it a chance. You’ll be surprised at just how welcoming it is!
