For 9 intensive days,
advanced string, piano, flute and clarinet students are immersed in the highest level of classical music instruction and performance at the Innsbrook Institute Summer
Music Academy.
This year's academy is: June 6 to 15, 2008
The Institute faculty includes internationally recognized artist-teachers and Saint Louis Symphony musicians with extensive coaching and mentoring experience. Each brings a reservoir of experience and insight into the relationships with the Innsbrook students. For students, the Institute provides:
• Respite of a natural setting, with the artistic benefits of a large city
• Nightly festival concerts that enhance daytime learning
• Performance opportunities
• Daily master classes and seminars
• Perform with faculty artists
• A minimum of two private lessons
The Institute is the result of a vision of Innsbrook Chairman Ed Boyce and Saint Louis Symphony Concertmaster David Halen to create a stimulating environment for the mind, body and spirit.
From the Artistic Director
The Innsbrook Institute is a unique and exciting experience for everyone involved. In leading up to our eighth season, I feel very proud of the extraordinary level of artistry our students have achieved over the years. The sounds and images of these young artists performing, working together and celebrating life are incredibly rewarding. All this is made possible in the perfect, idyllic setting that only Innsbrook can provide.
The incredible synergy created here in this pastoral beauty comes from the combination of the world’s greatest pedagogues, performers, gifted young artists, supportive host families, superb administrative staff, and members of the Saint Louis Symphony. This environment is without equal in the music world. No other summer program can boast a more complete, encompassing experience.
