Individual work with the visiting professors, tailored to each player’s own programme.
Chamber ensembles
Daily chamber-music sessions, led by Marija Župić Bošnjak.
Orchestra playing
Section and ensemble playing with fellow participants of all ages.
Instrument repair workshop
A hands-on repair and maintenance workshop for your clarinet.
