For our 28th Academia Vocalis we have been all the more anxious to attract world class course tutors to Wörgl again and they have all willingly agreed. And so this year we are able to welcome Julia VARADY, Helen & Klaus DONATH, Konrad JARNOT & Julia STEMBERGER, Karlheinz HANSER, Lenka RADECKY & Michael KUPFER-RADECKY and Christa LUDWIG  It is our intention to offer a fantastic platform for aspiring young artists who will be able to gain so much from the rich treasure trove of experience in the various master classes..

It is now twenty eight years ago that, under the most difficult circumstances, the International Master Classes for Singing were founded at Academia Vocalis in Wörgl.
In the years since then we have provided not only opera master classes but also gospel, jazz and rapso workshops, evening events with an emphasis on folk music and above all courses for children who will face a particular challenge in seven year's ago continuing project which will culminate 2016 in a new opera for children "Max & Moritz".

Participants from far and wide - last year, for example, when some of the course participants from Austria and our neighbouring countries, but also from the USA, Japan, Korea, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Finland, Belgium, Netherlands and Russia made a special journey just to attend - create a colourful mix of cultures and viewpoints so that a vibrant intellectual exchange can take place from which in the final analysis everyone profits.

So, take a careful look at our richly varied programme and it would be our pleasure to be able to welcome you either back to Wörgl or here for the first time!
