ALERT - ACHTUNG for all aspiring students

 

How US students get a university degree for free in Germany

 

          An important International opportunity is available to upcoming college students to pursue study and earn degrees in many European countries, especially Germany, and be TUITION FREE, unlike the enormous costs of a US University program.  With these costs over 4 years exceeding a cost of over $50,000 - over $100,000 in future debt, with compounded interest that can paralyze one's economics for as long as 30 years, this German option is a godsend in the savings and peace of mind without debt hanging over one's head. Degrees up through the Doctorates are offered for FREE.  It is highly advised that all learn German, but many schools teach courses in English.  For a non Music major where course work is standard in course classes, all programs are well covered.  To learn German, High School students should take German in school, or purchase a program with CD's and learn from their tutorial offerings.  Check http://www.fluenz.com/languages/learn-german/  and buy this program.  Information about the German programs below:

Miedzynarodowe Master Music Course  - VIP Shirley Brill, Clarinet Faculty

 

Poland

 

 

                    I International Course of Master Classes is organized as part of the “Music on the Heights” International Chamber Music Festival in Zakopane (12-19.09.2015). It is a great opportunity for musically talented young people from different parts of Poland and abroad to gain some musical instruction from world-class musicians and experience the alpine magnificence of the Tatra Mountains, the beauty of the surrounding Podhale region and its indigenous people which have inspired so many of Poland’s eminent composers. It is also an opportunity for the local community to present the achievements of their young and talented musicians to a wider audience.

 

                   Course participants will work on their own repertoire in workshops and master classes under the guidance of prominent chamber musicians such as: Łukasz Długosz – flute, Shirley Brill – clarinet, Jonathan Aner – chamber piano music, Krzysztof Chorzelski – string quartet and viola.

 

                  During the course a series of small concerts will be organized where participants will be able to present their achievements and gain familiarity with performing on stage, as well as sharing music with the residents of Zakopane and visiting tourists. In addition, those selected by the leaders of the master classes will perform at a concert as part of the “Music on the Heights” festival. This provides an excellent opportunity to promote young and talented musicians. Participants in the string quartet class will also work on a piece of music chosen by the organizers (a new composition by Maciej Negrey). The best musicians will be rewarded with the opportunity to perform the première of this piece at the “Music on the Heights” festival.

 

                 The workshops will take the form of four classes led by world-class specialists:

 

                 •The FLUTE class will be led by Łukasz DŁUGOSZ, one of Poland’s most talented musicians, the winner of many prestigious international competitions (including in Odense, Mannheim, Munich, Paris and Bucharest). He studied at the state high school for music in Freiburg (Germany) in the class of Mirjam Nastasi, and later graduated from the high school for music and theatre in Munich with Andras Adorjan. He also studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse in Paris under the direction of Pierre-Yves Artaud, and at Yale University in New Haven (United States) in the class of Ransom Wilson.

 

                •The CLARINET class will be led by Shirley BRILL, one of the most outstanding clarinetists in the world and a professor at the “Hans Eisler” Academy of Music in Berlin. During her career she has won two important music competitions in Markneukirchen (Germany) and in Geneva (Switzerland). She also won the Special Prize at the ARD International Competition in Munich. She has played with artists such as Daniel Barenboim, Sabine Meyer, Emmanuel Pahud, and the Jerusalem Quartet. She has performed at many prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York, Salle Pleyel in Paris, the Musikverein in Vienna, La Scala in Milan, the KKL in Lucerne. She regularly performs with the pianist Jonathan Aner, with whom she has formed the much praised Brillaner Duo which performs all over the world.

               •The CHAMBER MUSIC classes will be guided by Krzysztof CHORZELSKI, a viola player, professor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, a member and co-founder of the Belcea Quartet, which has performed at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall (New York), the Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), Palais des Beaux-Arts (Brussels). Krzysztof and the quartet attach great importance to supporting and teaching young string players by organizing intensive courses in the UK, US, Poland and Israel. The Belcea Quartet have released many recordings under the EMI Classics label including chamber music ranging from Mozart to Adès.

 

              •PIANO CHAMBER music covers a wide range of musical forms involving a sophisticated approach to ensemble playing. This class will be lead by Jonathan ANER, a.professor at the “Hans Eisler” Academy of Music in Berlin who is a very experienced musician and has received many awards. As a soloist he has performed with the Israel Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta, as well as with the Berlin Philharmonic. He has also played with Tabea Zimmermann, the Jerusalem String Quartet and the Vogler String Quartet. He is part of the Brillaner Duo and the Oberon Trio, with whom he regularly performs at such venues as the Berliner Konzerthaus, Carnegie Hall, the Auditorium du Louvre (Paris), the Kennedy Center (Washington D.C.), Conde Duque (Madrid), House of Music (Moscow), and Tivoli Hall (Copenhagen).
