Carl Flesch, a world-renowned violinist from Hungary, author of performance methods, and renowned teacher, is known for his summer courses held by the maestro himself from 1926 to 33. This master course continues the tradition. Only those who pass the preliminary audition can take lessons as students. Upon completion of the course, students will be awarded a diploma. During the course, students will have the opportunity to perform in many concerts, including solo and chamber music concerts, as well as being selected to perform as soloists with orchestras such as the Baden-Baden Philharmonic. Furthermore, outstanding students will be given the opportunity to win prizes in competitions and even receive scholarships. The professors include Josef Lisin, a renowned professor from the Moscow Conservatory who has trained many outstanding violinists such as Sergei Khachaturian and Daniel Lozakovich, Mate Suchu, a former principal viola of the Berlin Philharmonic who has performed with Bartok's Viola Concerto, Gregory Armyan, principal cellist of the Bonn Beethoven Orchestra, who is from Moscow and has been active internationally, including performing with Martha Argerich, Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt, a world-renowned cellist who has won prizes at the International Tchaikovsky Competition and the International Rostropovich Cello Competition, and Dominik Wagner, a young double bassist who has received the prestigious German ECHO Klassik Award and is a scholarship recipient of the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation. During the course, you can also watch many concerts. Baden-Baden is one of Germany's leading resorts, a sophisticated and beautiful city, symbolized by its spacious Kurhaus. The course venue and accommodation are at Lichtenthal Abbey. The course and accommodation are in the same place, so there is no need to travel. In addition, the area also has an excellent wine cellar, so you can enjoy wine. You can also enjoy hiking and golf, and since it is close to France, you can continue sightseeing in cities both in Germany and abroad, making it possible to enjoy European tourism in the summer.
