Prospekt Summeracademy 2025

“Temperamenti”

Allegro Vivo stellt 2025 die Vielfalt des menschlichen Wesens und deren musikalische Darstellung in den Mittelpunkt. Historische Charakterisierungen des Menschen beeinflussten über die Jahrhunderte sowohl die Philosophie als auch die Kunst.

Besonders in der Musik spiegelt sich die Bandbreite menschlicher Emotionen wider, sowohl in der Komposition als auch in der Interpretation. Die Balance eines Kunstwerkes und die Einzigartigkeit seiner musikalischen Umsetzung bringen diese Wesenszüge eindrucksvoll zum Ausdruck. Spätestens seit Johann Sebastian Bach findet dabei der Begriff des „Wohltemperierten“ eine besondere Bedeutung.

In der 47. Festivalsaison öffnen wir die Tore unserer internationalen Sommerakademie und freuen uns auf die Begegnung mit den über 500 jungen Talenten aus der ganzen Welt.

Seien Sie uns herzlich willkommen!

Vahid Khadem-Missagh Künstlerischer Leiter

As we enter our 47th festival season we dedicate ourselves to a special musical theme at Allegro Vivo this year. Over the centuries, various attempts have been made to explore the aspects of human characteristics, influencing the worlds of philosophy and art.

Music, in particular, mirrors the vast spectrum of human emotions, both in composition and interpretation. The balance of a work of art and the distinctiveness of its musical realization powerfully highlight these characteristics. The term "Well-Tempered", especially since Johann Sebastian Bach, has gained special significance in this context.

We are excited to open the doors of our international summer academy and look forward to engage with over 500 young talents from across the globe.

We warmly welcome you all!

Workshop with Veronika Morscher

Performing on stage can be the most exhilarating feeling for some of us and hands down one of the most stressful situations for others. If you are struggling with this, there are a lot of possibilities to turn your stage experience from something that is driven by fear into something more enjoyable and more authentic. How can you find a little more ease and fulfillment on stage? How can you stay focused and maintain a strong presence? In this workshop, you’ll receive plenty of input through working with the body, breath, and mind. We will explore concepts from psychology, yoga and music physiology.

Join me for this interactive workshop where you will gather valuable tools to make your stage experience your own.

Workshop with Lilian Genn

Performing music on stage is a highly complex matter. In addition to technical and musical aplomb, it also requires awareness for a coherent concert performance. Ears and eyes are the audience’s instruments for judging musical appearances - and these judgments start with the first step onto stage.

In this workshop, we will practise entering and leaving the stage, dealing with applause and making lively contact with the audience. Through bodywork, we increase our presence and strengthen our well-being on stage.

Even if the “temperamenti” of the composition come up with your mood, a fresh mind and vital body could help you to easier navigate between the different roles in a professional context. Explore and empower your mental & physical skills, like

• mindfully get in touch with your body during a 30 min morning workout in group setting

• feel the calmness of mind and body after a guided 20 min muscle relaxation class in group setting

• enjoy the deep relaxation that comes after a 30 min massage treatment (single sessions)
