“Metamorphosen”

„Wolle den Wandel!“, so Rainer Maria Rilke. Das 45. Allegro Vivo Festival steht programmatisch im Zeichen der „Metamorphosen“ im Sinne der besonderen menschlichen Fähigkeit, im Austausch mit anderen, gesellschaftsverändernde Kräfte freizusetzen.

In viereinhalb Jahrzehnten hat Allegro Vivo das gesamte Waldviertel in eine blühende Kulturlandschaft mit nachhaltiger, generationsübergreifender und internationaler Ausstrahlung verwandelt. Möge diese Entwicklung als Beispiel für andere dienen und die Kraft der Musik als verbindendes Lebenselixier die Menschheit voranbringen. Mit Begeisterung öffnen wir die Tore der diesjährigen Sommerakademie und freuen uns auf über 500 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer aus aller Welt!

Seien Sie uns herzlich willkommen!

Vahid Khadem-Missagh Künstlerischer Leiter

“Be the change you want to see in others!” We dedicate the 45th Allegro Vivo Festival to the unique ability of humankind to create vital transformation and our musical theme for 2023 resounds around “Metamorphosis”.

In the last four and a half decades, Allegro Vivo has created a prospering cultural landscape in the region of the Waldviertel, connecting all generations and cultures, providing a profound international impact. May this development be exemplary for many and the power of music flow from here as a lifeblood out to the world. We are delighted to open the gates of this year’s Summer Academy to over 500 participants to support their vibrant talents and passion for music.

A hearty welcome to you all!

“Body awareness” 19. 08.–23.

Workshop with Lilian Genn

Virtuosity, musicality, playing technique are major qualities for musicians. Equally important is the authentic and confident performance as well as the conscious contact to the audience. Musicians are like high-performance athletes, they need a very precise perception and cognition of their body, to manage the various challenges of an artistic career at its best. A comprehensive body perception training will increase the perception ability and the body awareness – on stage as well as in daily practising routine. Requirements for successful performance and healthy musicians for a lifetime!

“Brainstorm”

26. 08.–30. 08.

Workshop with Thomas Selditz

To cope easily with performing, to play an instrument effortlessly, to sail through a concert – this all includes a very direct, pleasantly naïve approach to playing music, which may disappear by and by for lots of us – the joy. Who determines what’s easy-going and what’s difficult? Where our learning patterns, which we often adopt from our teachers, colleagues and parents, do come from? Practising – does it help? How does our brain work and why does it catch us by surprise? Thomas Selditz, as a playing musician, an adaptive teacher and inquisitive person, engages himself in finding answers, which we can only respond for ourselves to rejoice.

Since 2010 Thomas Selditz is professor for viola at the University for Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. Besides his concert- and teaching activity he is working as a coach for musicians, provided by his education in kinesiology, hypnosis and NLP.

Die zweiwöchigen Kurse sind für Kinder bis 16 Jahre (in Begleitung eines Erwachsenen) ausgerichtet.

CLASSES

The classes aimed to encourage children’s passion in music and foster their joy in making music.

Die TeilnehmerInnen können in Einzelunterricht, Korrepetitionsstunden und kammermusikalischer Betreuung neue Erfahrungen sammeln. Eltern nehmen als Begleitpersonen am Kursgeschehen teil, um ihre Kinder, auch während des Jahres, bestmöglich zu fördern und zu unterstützen.
