Master classes Arosa
Under the label «Masterclasses Arosa», Arosa Culture bundles all those courses of the Arosa Music Course Weeks that offer the level of masterclasses. There are a total of 15 individual courses for various instruments. A special offer within the master classes is the «AROSA MUSIC ACADEMY», which combines individual lessons with intensive chamber music lessons.

Attractive awards for participants in the master classes
Arosa Culture has created attractive awards for participants in the master classes. The Hans Schaeuble Award is presented to a maximum of nine participants. One award includes a concert engagement as part of the Arosa Klassik festival the following winter. Arosa Kultur offers the opportunity for chamber music performances with renowned musicians. The award can be presented thanks to the financial and moral support of the Hans Schaeuble Foundation.
Experience the magic of the Arosa Summer of Culture
The Kultursommer Arosa starts with a highlight. We are delighted to welcome the great Swiss violinist Sebastian Bohren and the exceptional recorder player Maurice Steger to Arosa. Together with harpsichordist and organist Martin Zimmermann, they will present a chamber music festival spanning three centuries.
The OPERETTA ARDEZ has long since become an audience favorite in Arosa. Most recently with the Advent concert in the Evangelical Church and in summer 2025 with «Hänsel e Grettina» on the Waldbühne. This summer they are performing «The Bear» by William Walton. It is a musically and scenically captivating musical theater masterpiece for three people, which captivates the audience from the first to the last second with wit, speed and depth. Together with «The Bear», the crime operetta «Grandhotel XY unsolved» is brought to the stage.
When the lively Moritz Weiss Klezmer Trio from Styria performs, sparks fly. With clarinet, guitar and double bass, they create sonic spaces that invite amazement and touch the soul with sensuality. Once rooted in the diverse world of klezmer, today their own compositions and playful interpretations take center stage and have brought their music to stages and festivals in over 20 countries. Special guest Simon Reithofer on gypsy guitar underlines the instrumental lyricism of the band with his soulful expression.
Children's concerts have always been an integral part of the Arosa Summer of Culture. On five Mondays from July 13, various theater groups, musicians and puppeteers enchant children's hearts, parents, godparents and nanis with their performances.
Also to be seen and heard on the Waldbühne: Folk music concerts, Suzie Candell and Band, lectures, readings and this year for the first time «Das kleine Waldbühni Openair». The mountain summer will be celebrated between trees, friends and live music.
And last but not least: 33 musicians can be heard in 19 Bergkirchli concerts! Every Tuesday at 17:00.
