A Project of  

From its foundation, the Friends of the Tiroler Festspiele Erl have placed importance on the development of young and emerging talent.

Together with the Festival team and in collaboration with the Federal Province of Tyrol, the Academy was successfully implemented for the first time in spring 2022, made possible by the financial contributions of the Friends.

Following the successful "Wind Academy," the focus of the second “Academy of the Friends of the Tiroler Festspiele Erl" in spring 2023 will be on the strings: Violin, Viola, Violoncello, Double Bass and Harp.

Under the guidance of a group of world-renowned orchestra musicians, the students will not only improve their instrumental skills, but also hone their most important orchestra excerpts. On the final workshop day, there will be an audition in front of a professional jury. Winners of this mock orchestra audition will be featured in a Prize Winners Concert during the summer festival on 25 July 2023 and receive a cash award.
