About us
2025 WINTER AND SUMMER MASTERCLASSES
On Winter 2025 (20.-23.2. and 27.2.-2.3.) and Summer 2025 (July-August) we will organise in Savonlinna more than 10 high-class Master classes in cooperation with Savonlinna Summer University and University of the Arts Helsinki – Sibelius-Academy. Our goal is to deepen the professional skills of young musicians and to promote the Finnish music life and its international relations. Savonlinna Music Academy’s extensive national and international networks enable organising Master classes for talented students in an unique environment. The Finnish tradition of music education, renowned professors, and the cultural atmosphere of Savonlinna give a possibility for students to develop themselves, communicate, and to create lifelong connections.
