Young talents from Ticino make music in Arosa
In addition to the "Hans Schaeuble Award", Arosa Kultur has also successfully staged the "Young Talents in Concert" format for several years.
Andri Probst - The first "Young Talents" event with the new concept was held at the beginning of July under the direction of Roberto Kowalski.
Young talents in concert
After a two-year hiatus, the "Young Talents in Concert" project has been relaunched this July with a new concept. In collaboration with the two Ticino cultural institutions Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana (CSI) and the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana (OSI), Arosa Culture invited seven young students from the CSI Pre-College to Arosa for a week of rehearsals. Under the direction of the OSI's 1st concertmaster, Robert Kowalski, the students rehearsed at the Arosa Congress Center and gave a concert in both Arosa and Lugano at the end of the week. The focus was on intensive daily musical work with Robert Kowalski. The enthusiastic feedback from the participants has prompted those responsible to invite pre-college students from other music academies in Switzerland to take part next year. Discussions to this effect have already begun.
"Hans Schaeuble Award" and the Arosa Classical Music Festival
Since 2015, the "Hans Schaeuble Award" has been presented to several participants of the Arosa Music Academy every year. The Arosa Music Academy is an international master class of the Arosa Music Course Weeks for the instruments violin, viola, cello, saxophone and accordion. This year, at least eight participants will be honored with a "Hans Schaeuble Award". The award also includes an invitation to actively participate in the Arosa Classical Music Festival the following winter. Various chamber music programs will be developed and performed under the direction of Markus Fleck (violin) and Lars Mlekusch (saxophone).
The Arosa Classical Music Festival 2023 will take place from March 19 - April 2 in various concert venues in Arosa. In addition to the chamber music concerts, an ensemble from the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana and the "obsigänt" ensemble will perform. Original works and arrangements by Hannes Meyer will be performed to commemorate the Graubünden organist Hannes Meyer, the 10th anniversary of whose death will be celebrated in 2023. Two memorial concerts are also planned, one with horn player Pascal Deuber and the final concert with Mathias Gubler, Domenic Jannett and Lisette Stoffel.
Information about the festival will be posted on www.arosaklassik.ch.
