Grafenegg does not only welcome the most important orchestras, conductors and soloists, we also offer the programmes of Campus Grafenegg, a project that actively looks after the next generation of musicians.

One cornerstone is the Grafenegg Academy Orchestra, which will come together in Grafenegg from 11 July to 21 July 2024. The programme is aimed specifically at highly talented young professional musicians at the start of their careers with a keen interest in musical training that goes beyond the technical and merely athletic aspects of performing music. Curiosity, openness to new ideas, and an ambition to be a leader in tomorrow’s musical landscape are all desirable qualities for those wishing to apply.

Following significant successes in recent years, Israeli conductor Ilan Volkov will assume theleadership of the Grafenegg Academy in 2024. Colin Currie continues to accompany the Academy, serving as guest artist and soloist.  Grafenegg Academy’s approach is new, creative and ambitious: it focuses on the exchange of artistic ideas, advanced artistic development and freedom in playing together as well as the intensive, collaborative exploration of music. Free from the limitations of typical professional concert life, musicians at Grafenegg Academy have the opportunity to rehearse in great depth — under the guidance of outstanding artists —, to share ideas and experiences, to explore a rich diversity of musical works.
