Rostock Summer Campus

17th International Master Class Series 16th to 24th of August 2012

The summer campus at Rostock University of Music and Drama offers masterclasses with internationally renowned artists and teachers. Besides receiving intensive tuition, participants have the opportunity to perform in concerts and to rehearse and perform as soloists with a professional orchestra. The Polish Chamber Philharmonic Sopot under the musical direction of Wojciech Rajski is an experienced orchestra placed at the disposal of the masterclass students. The classes are aimed at music students and musicians from all over the world who would like to undergo advanced training. The pantomime workshop offered this year is meant for students of both drama and music who would like to develop their powers of artistic expression.

All masterclasses are public, allowing interested listeners to gain an insight into the daily life and work of a musician.

Accommodated in a lovingly restored Franciscan monastery, the Rostock University of Music and Drama has an inspiring atmosphere, excellent practice facilities and concert halls with modern equipment.

The summer campus first took place in 1995 – one year after the college was founded. One of its central concerns is the integration of the Association of Baltic Academies of Music (ABAM). This means that students from colleges which are members of the ABAM are entitled to grants and discounts.

Since 2005, the summer campus has been run in close conjunction with the Mecklenburg-West Pomeranian festivals and North German Radio (NDR). The summer campus receives special support from the Mecklenburg-West Pomeranian Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, the Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne and the Friends and Supporters of Rostock University of Music and Drama.

Registration deadline: June, 15.

Master courses since 1995

The Summer Campus took place for the first time in 1995 – one year after the foundation of Rostock University. Cooperation with the international Association of Baltic Academies of Music (ABAM) has been one of its core aims from the beginning. That means that students of the ABAM institutions are entitled to get a scholarship or pay a reduced fee.

Since 2005, the Summer Campus has been organised in close co-operation with the Festspielen Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the Norddeutschen Rundfunk (NDR). Special support for the Summer Campus is provided by the Ministry of Education, Science and Cultural Affairs of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the ART MENTOR FOUNDATION LUCERNE and the association “Friends and Supporters of the Rostock University of Music and Theatre e.V.”
