Young talents from Ticino go on tour
In addition to the "Hans Schaeuble Award", Arosa Culture has also successfully held the "Young Talents in Concert" format for several years. At the end of the master class, the young talents gave three concerts in Switzerland.
A new concept for a master class has been developed for 2022 in collaboration with the OSI (Orchestra della svizzera italiana) and the CSI (Conservatorio della svizzera italiana). Up to 10 students from the Pre-College of the CSI will be supervised and taught by Robert Kowalski, the 1st concertmaster of the OSI, for a week in Arosa.
This year's master class took place from June 26 to 29, followed by three concerts in Arosa, Cham and Lugano. The four young musicians, Adelaide Chiaradonna, Leon Bekaj, Gianluigi Sartori and Ares Midiri, all aged between 14 and 17, had an instructive time in Arosa. The four rehearsal days and three concerts were intensive and instructive, and thanks to Robert Kowalski's experienced, professionally and personally proven direction and Redjan Teqia's accompaniment, they were able to gain valuable experience.
The next masterclass will take place in June 2024, and the short concert tour will take the young musicians to Zurich and Bern as well as Arosa, Cham and Lugano.
