MUSICA MUNDI SCHOOL
International School for Professional Musical Education and General Studies. Waterloo, Belgium
La mission de Musica Mundi est de développer le potentiel humain et musical de jeunes talents venus du monde entier. En mettant ces jeunes talents déjà incroyablement doués en contact direct avec d’autres jeunes talents du monde entier et quelques-uns des meilleurs pédagogues et artistes actuels, l’impact sur leurs vies en termes de développement, de stimulation et d’enrichissement personnel sera incommensurable. Poussée par cette même philosophie, Musica Mundi organise chaque été depuis 26 ans un stage et un festival internationaux de musique de chambre s’adressant à de jeunes musiciens âgés de 10 à 20 ans. Chaque année, le stage est suivi par une septantaine de participants venus des quatre coins de la planète. La grande majorité des participants ne dispose que de peu ou pas de ressources financières, et c’est grâce à nos sponsors et mécènes qu’ils reçoivent une bourse partielle. Ces dernières années, le succès grandissant du stage et du festival ainsi que les nombreuses rencontres avec des musiciens du monde entier ont fait prendre conscience aux deux fondateurs de Musica Mundi, Hagit Hassid-Kerbel (pianiste) et Leonid Kerbel (violoniste), de l’urgence de fonder une école primaire et secondaire pour jeunes musiciens. Une école qui offre aux jeunes musiciens de 10 à 18 ans l’opportunité de recevoir, simultanément et harmonieusement, une formation générale et musicale professionnelle de haute qualité, indépendamment de leurs moyens financiers. Il n’existe que peu d’écoles de ce type dans le monde et la plupart se trouvent en Europe de l’Est ou en Asie. En Europe centrale et occidentale, seule la Grande-Bretagne en dispose. Lors du concert de Musica Mundi au Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles, le 2 mai 2011, Maxim Vengerov a annoncé qu’il allait servir d’ambassadeur au projet d’école ! La Musica Mundi School a vu le jour sur le site historique et spirituel du Monastère de Fichermont, qui fait partie des sites classés et entièrement préservés du champ de bataille de Waterloo. Grâce à une collaboration exceptionnelle avec l’Archidiocèse de Malines-Bruxelles, la Musica Mundi School a créé à Fichermont en septembre 2018 son école internationale primaire et secondaire de musique avec internat. L’école, dont l’anglais est la langue véhiculaire, offre une formation générale complète de la 5e primaire à la 6e secondaire. Elle suit le programme et les compétences des Cambridge International Examinations et offre un diplôme d’enseignement secondaire certifié par ce programme. Un internat accueille les jeunes talents venus du monde entier. La formation musicale professionnelle est assurée par tous les artistes faisant déjà partie de la « famille Musica Mundi » : Maxim Vengerov (notre Ambassadeur de bonne volonté), Ivry Gitlis (in memoriam), Jacques Rouvier, Vladimir Perlin, Sivan Magen, Benjamin Braude, Nathan Braude, Claire Oppert, Artyom Dervoed et de nombreux autres... Des professeurs d'instruments pour tous les instruments d'orchestre et de piano, des master pedagogues et des artistes en résidence sont présents régulièrement à l'ecole. Les jeunes talents sont acceptés sur audition et jugés uniquement sur la base de leur talent. Des bourses sont offertes aux élèves dans le besoin.
La Musica Mundi School est la seule « ALL STEINWAY SCHOOL » en Belgique et dans les pays avoisinants. Elle offre ainsi des conditions de travail et de performance incroyables à ses jeunes talents grâce à des pianos de qualité inégalable.
L'école compte pour l'année académique 2024-2025 (sa 7ème année d'existence) 52 jeunes musiciens originaires de pays tels que Australie, Japon, Kirghizistan, Israël, Hongrie, États-Unis, Chine, Chili, Russie, Norvège, Suisse, Royaume-Uni, Bulgarie, Pologne, Allemagne, Espagne, Italie, Belgique, France, Turquie, Ukraine, Pays-Bas, Mexique. Les deux types d'éducation sont mélangés harmonieusement et avec beaucoup de réflexion et d'attention. Le bien-être des étudiants est le principal facteur qui guide ce mélange sain. Les élèves affrontent avec succès les examens officiels de Cambridge et se produisent régulièrement au cours de l'année dans des concerts publics et privés. De nombreux événements sont déjà programmés pour 2025-2026.
Au cours des 5 dernières années, les élèves diplômés de l'école ont auditionné dans les plus grands conservatoires du monde pour poursuivre leurs études universitaires Juilliard School à New York, Curtis Institute de Philadelphie, New England Conservatory à Boston, Mozarteum à Salzbourg, Royal College à Londres, Barenboim Academy à Berlin... Ils ont pratiquement TOUS été acceptés sur la base d'importantes bourses d'études dans ces prestigieuses institutions ! Venez nous rendre visite et témoignez par vous-même de la vie dans cette institution unique !
De missie van Musica Mundi bestaat erin het muzikale en menselijke potentieel van jeugdig talent van over heel de wereld te ontwikkelen. Door deze begaafde jongeren in direct contact te brengen met ander beloftevol talent uit alle hoeken van de wereld, en met enkele van de grootste pedagogen en artiesten van vandaag, is de stimulerende invloed hiervan op hun leven en persoonlijke ontwikkeling nauwelijks te overschatten. Vanuit dezelfde filosofie organiseerde Musica Mundi de voorbije 26 jaar een internationale zomercursus kamermuziek en een festival voor jonge muzikanten van 10 tot 20. Elk jaar volgen ongeveer 70 deelnemers van overal ter wereld deze opleiding. Het merendeel van deze jonge virtuozen heeft geen of weinig financiële middelen. Dankzij sponsors en mecenassen krijgen ze een partiële beurs. De voorbije jaren kenden de cursus en het festival een toenemend succes. Door de talrijke ontmoetingen met musici van over de hele wereld werden Hagit Hassid-Kerbel (pianiste) en Leonid Kerbel (violist), de twee oprichters van Musica Mundi, zich bewust van de dringende nood aan basisonderwijs en secundair onderwijs voor jonge muzikanten. Een school die jonge musici van 10 tot 18 ongeacht hun financiële situatie de gelegenheid biedt te gelijkertijd een hoogstaande algemene opvoeding en een professionele muzikale scholing te genieten. Er zijn erg weinig scholen in de wereld die een dergelijk educatief programma aanbieden. De meeste bevinden zich in Oost-Europa of Azië. In Centraal- en WestEuropa bestaan deze scholen niet, met uitzondering van Groot-Brittannië. Tijdens het Musica Mundi-concert in het Paleis voor Schone Kunsten in Brussel op 2 mei 2011, kondigde Maxim Vengerov aan dat hij zou optreden als ambassadeur voor een dergelijk schoolproject. De Musica Mundi School werd opgericht op de historische en spirituele site van het klooster van Fichermont, die deel uitmaakt van de officiële lijst van beschermde sites rond het slagveld van Waterloo. Dankzij een uitzonderlijke samenwerking met het aartsbisdom Mechelen-Brussel bouwde Musica Mundi in Fichermont in september 2018 een internationale lagere en secundaire muziekschool uit. Deze kostschool heeft het Engels als voertaal en biedt een volledig algemeen curriculum aan vanaf het vijfde leerjaar tot het laatste jaar van het secundair onderwijs. Ze volgt het Cambridge International Examinations-programma en zijn kwalificaties, en reikt binnen dit kader ook een humanioradiploma uit. Het internaat verwelkomt jong talent van over de hele wereld. Alle artiesten die reeds deel uitmaken van de ‘Musica Mundi-familie’ verzorgen er de professionele muzikale opleiding, onder wie Maxim Vengerov, goodwillambassadeur van de school, Ivry Gitlis (in memoriam), Jacques Rouvier, Vladimir Perlin, Sivan Magen, Bejamin Braude, Nathan Braude, Claire Oppert, Artyom Dervoed en vele anderen. Docenten voor alle orkestinstrumenten en piano, gerenommeerde pedagogen en artiesten in residentie zijn regelmatig aanwezig in de school. De toelating tot de school voor jonge beloftevolle muzikanten berust uitsluitend op een auditie en hun talent. Wie er nood aan heeft kan een beroep doen op een beurs.
De Musica Mundi School is de enige “ALL STEINWAY SCHOOL” in België en de omringende landen. Ze stelt de jonge muzikanten majestueuze piano’s ter beschikking en schept zo de ideale omstandigheden voor oefening en opvoering.
De school telt in het academisch jaar 2024-2025 (het 7e jaar van haar bestaan) 52 jonge musici uit landen als Australië, Japan, Kirgizië, Israël, Hongarije, Verenigde Staten, China, Chili, Rusland, Noorwegen, Zwitserland, Verenigd Koninkrijk, Bulgarije, Polen, Duitsland, Spanje, Italië, België, Frankrijk, Turkije, Oekraïne, Nederland, Mexico. Beide opleidingen worden harmonieus en doordacht met elkaar gecombineerd. Het welzijn van de studenten is de belangrijkste factor bij deze gezonde mix. Studenten leggen met succes de officiële Cambridge-examens af en treden gedurende het jaar regelmatig op in openbare en privéconcerten. Voor 2025-2026 staan al talloze evenementen op het programma.
In de afgelopen 5 jaar hebben de afstuderende studenten van de school auditie gedaan bij een aantal van 's werelds beste conservatoria om hun universitaire studie voort te zetten - Juilliard School in New York, Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, New England Conservatory in Boston, Mozarteum in Salzburg, Royal College in Londen, Barenboim Academy in Berlijn... Ze werden praktisch ALLEMAAL aangenomen op basis van belangrijke studiebeurzen voor deze prestigieuze instellingen! Kom ons bezoeken en wees getuige van het leven in deze unieke instelling!
When a prayer turns into music...
The mission of Musica Mundi is to develop the musical and human potential of young talents from all over the world. By putting these already highly gifted young talents in direct contact with other young talents from around the world, and with some of today’s greatest pedagogues and artists, the impact on their lives, in terms of development, stimulation and personal enrichment, will be immeasurable. Driven by this same philosophy, every summer for the last 26 years Musica Mundi has been holding an international chamber music course and festival for young musicians aged 10 to 20. Each year, the course is attended by some 70 participants from all corners of the world. The vast majority of these talented young people have few or no financial resources; thanks to sponsors and patrons, they receive scholarships which cover part of their musical education. The growing success of the course and the festival over the last years, and numerous encounters with musicians from all over the world, have made the two founders of Musica Mundi, Hagit Hassid-Kerbel (pianist) and Leonid Kerbel (violinist), aware of the urgent need to set up a primary and secondary school for young musicians. A school that offers young musicians aged 10 to 18 the opportunity to simultaneously and harmoniously receive a general education and a professional musical education, both of high quality, irrespective of their financial situation. There are very few schools in the world offering such an education program. Most of these schools are in Eastern Europe or Asia. In Central and Western Europe there are no such schools, with the exception of Great Britain. During the Musica Mundi concert at the Centre of Fine Arts of Brussels on the 2nd May 2011, Maxim Vengerov announced that he was to serve as ambassador for the school project! The Musica Mundi School was created in 2018 on the historical and spiritual site of the “Monastere de Fichermont” - part of the listed and fully preserved areas of the battlefield of Waterloo. Thanks to an exceptional collaboration with the Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels, the “Musica Mundi School” created in Fichermont its international primary and secondary music school with boarding house. The school, with English as its vehicular language, offers a complete general education from the 5th primary year and up to the 6th secondary year. It follows the Cambridge International Examinations program and qualifications, and delivers a high school diploma certified by this program. A boarding school welcomes the young talents who arrive from all over the world. Professional music education is provided by all the artists who are already part of the “Musica Mundi Family” - Maxim Vengerov, the school’s Goodwill Ambassador, Ivry Gitlis (in memoriam), Jacques Rouvier, Vladimir Perlin, Sivan Magen, Bejamin Braude, Nathan Braude, Claire Oppert, Artyom Dervoed and many others... Instrumental teachers for all orchestral instruments and piano, master pedagogues and artists in residence are present at the school regularly. Young talents are accepted on the basis of an audition and according to their talent only. Scholarships are offered to those in need.
The Musica Mundi School is the only “ALL STEINWAY SCHOOL” in Belgium and in the surrounding countries, providing its young talents with these majestic pianos and therefore with excellent practicing and performing conditions.
School counts in the academic year 2024-2025 (its 7th year of existence) 52 young musicians from countries such as Australia, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Israel, Hungary, USA, China, Chile, Russia, Norway, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, France, Turkey , Ukraine, Holland, Mexico. Both educations are mixed harmoniously and with a lot of thought and consideration. The well being of the students is the main factor that guides this healthy mixture. Students face with success the official Cambridge Exams and perform regularly during the year in public and private concerts. Numerous events are already programmed for 2025-2026.
In the past 5 years, the school’s graduating students have auditioned to some of the world’s greatest conservatories to pursue their university studies - Juilliard School in New York, Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, New England Conservatory in Boston, Mozarteum in Salzburg, Royal College in London, Barenboim Academy in Berlin… They were practically ALL accepted on basis of important scholarships to these prestigious institutions ! Come and visit us and witness for yourself the life in this unique institution !

ZIMMERMANN
(viola)
Tabea Zimmermann is a versatile musician celebrated as a soloist, chamber performer, and educator. She nurtures talent, fosters collaboration, and serves as president of various foundations, commissioning new works. While the viola is central to her career, Zimmermann’s diverse roles reflect her broad influence, from concert experience to social responsibility. “A long-standing wish is now fulfilled: I can help shape content,” she says. Zimmermann gained fame early, debuting at 11 at the Berlin Philharmonie. Successes in international competitions (1982-1984) propelled her to prominence. At 21, she became Germany’s youngest professor, teaching at the University of Music Saarland. After roles in Frankfurt and Berlin, she returned to the Frankfurt University of Music in 2023, sharing her passion at the Kronberg Academy and through masterclasses. Zimmermann’s focus on contemporary music stemmed from limited traditional viola repertoire. She premiered works by composers like György Ligeti, Wolfgang Rihm, and Heinz Holliger, influencing classical interpretations through engagement with modern pieces.

Tim Kliphuis Trio
During its 19-year career, the Tim Kliphuis Trio has built up a reputation as one of the world’s leading improvisation ensembles. Recent highlights were a Royal state visit to Sweden, opening the United Nations Water Summit in New York and collaborations with the Netherlands and Tallin Chamber Orchestras. Of the two Sony albums ‘Reflecting the Seasons’ and ‘Brandenburg’, their innovative new version of Vivaldi’s masterpiece hit the number one spot on the i-Tunes charts.
Tim KLIPHUIS
(jazz violin)
Award-winning Dutch violinist Tim Kliphuis has created a brand new style that embraces classical, gypsy jazz and folk. Hailed as a ‘current-day improvising Paganini’, his inclusive and innovative approach to music has united audiences and is influencing a new generation of string players. Kliphuis has seen how music can influence people through the heart - a very different route than the mind. As a composer, he searches for ways to get people to actively care for the planet. For his newest piece ‘Kosmos’, he asked 5 Dutch star scientists about this, and translated their stories and knowledge into music. His journey is can be heard in the Dutch public radio podcast “Componeren of Verzuipen” (release: 20 May 2024); ‘Kosmos’ live performances with an ensemble of 17 young professional musicians will make people think (premiere: 1 June 2024 - support the Crowdfunding campaign here). An in-demand educator and author of the bestselling book “Gypsy Jazz Violin”, Tim is Professor of String Improvisation at the Conservatoire of Amsterdam and Director of the gypsy jazz summer school Grappelli-Django Camp. As a Sony Classical artist, Kliphuis recorded Vivaldi-inspired ‘Reflecting the Seasons’ in 2016, followed by ‘Brandenburg’, based on Bach’s Concertos, and his own ‘Ulysses’ Violin Concerto in 2018. He was awarded the Scottish Jazz Award, South African Woordfees Award and the Polish ‘Swing Raven’ Prize. After his master’s degree in classical violin at the Amsterdam Conservatoire, Kliphuis studied with the European Sinti gypsies. He recorded and toured with gypsy guitar legends Fapy Lafertin, The Rosenberg Trio and Angelo Debarre. An invitation to the Richard Strauss Festival in Germany started the Tim Kliphuis Trio (Nigel Clark, guitar and Roy Percy, double bass) whose mission is a ‘total music’ without stylistic barriers. They performed at the Amsterdam Canal Concert, curated the world fiddle night at Celtic Connections Glasgow, celebrated Stéphane Grappelli at the Django Reinhardt Festival in Samois-sur-Seine and shared the stage with Les Paul, Richard Galliano, Frankie Gavin, Martin Hayes and Daniel Hope. In between Trio tours and orchestral projects, the Tim Kliphuis Sextet with Nigel Clark, Roy Percy and string players Janneke van Prooijen, Frank Brakkee and Charles Watt continues to wow audiences across Europe: a colourful crossover approach to classical and jazz music.

Quatuor ÉBÈNE
Attending a concert by the Quatuor Ébène is a musical and sensual happening. In the past two decades the quartet has set standards by making familiar repertoire accessible in new ways beyond perfection, and by constantly seeking the exchange with the audience. This spring, Yuya Okamoto joined the quartet’s esteemed ranks, adding a new dimension. After studies with the Quatuor Ysaÿe in Paris as well as with Gábor Takács, Eberhard Feltz and György Kurtág, the unprecedented and outstanding success at the 2004 ARD Music Competition followed, marking the beginning of the Quatuor Ébène's rise to fame, which resulted in numerous other prizes and awards: In 2005, for example, the quartet was awarded the Belmont Prize of the Forberg-Schneider Foundation; in 2007 it was prize winner of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust, and in 2019 - as the first ensemble ever – it was honored with the Frankfurt Music Prize. In addition to the traditional repertoire, the quartet also dives into other styles ("A String Quartet that can easily morph into a jazz band" New York Times, 2009). What began in 1999 as a distraction in the university’s practice rooms - improvising on jazz standards & pop songs - has become a trademark of Quatuor Ébène. Quatuor Ébène's albums, with recordings of Bartók, Beethoven, Debussy, Haydn, Fauré and the Mendelssohn siblings, have received numerous awards, including Gramophone, BBC Music Magazine, and the Midem Classic Award. First and foremost is the recording of Beethoven’s 16 String Quartets, for which the quartet travelled across six continents between May 2019 and January 2020. With this complete recording, the four celebrated their 20th stage anniversary, which they additionally crowned with performances of the complete String Quartet cycle in major European venues such as the Philharmonie de Paris or the Alte Oper Frankfurt. Invitations from Carnegie Hall New York, the Verbier Festival and the Vienna Konzerthaus were also on the agenda. In January 2021, the quartet was appointed by the University of Music and Performing Arts in Munich to establish a String Quartet class as part of the newly founded „Quatuor Ébène Academy“. Since the past season, the quartet has been performing a joint cycle with the Belcea Quartet at the Wiener Konzerthaus.
