The whole masterclass will be audio visually recorded and after the academy, it will be shared online to the public for educational and other purposes.

Private lessons

During private lessons, students will work with renowned Czech and Slovak teachers and orchestral players. The main subject of study will be orchestral excerpts. Each student will receive two private lessons with two different teachers.

Workshops
