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 16 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. Lecturers at the master classes include well-known musicians such as Maurice Steger, Simon Fuchs, Lars Mlekusch, Markus Fleck, Jens Lohmann, Isabelle Schnöller and many others.
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 in 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 non-material support of the Hans Schaeuble Foundation.
Arosa cultural summer with a wide range of cultural activities
This year's cultural summer will open on Saturday, July 5, with the salon orchestra of the "kammerphilharmonie graubünden". With the program "m-ta-ta, m-ta-ta... Waltz or never!", the musicians pay tribute to the undisputed waltz king Johann Strauss (son), who would have celebrated his 200th birthday this year.
The long-standing tradition of opera performances continues this year. This time, the Opernkollektiv Zürich is a guest on the Waldbühne. In "Viva la mamma" by Gaetano Donizetti, Mamma Agata causes quite a commotion on the opera stage.
Children's events have always been an integral part of the Arosa Summer of Culture. On five Mondays from July 7, various theater groups, musicians and puppeteers enchant children's hearts, parents, godparents and nani's with their performances. Also to be heard: Swing de paris, gypsy jazz; Izamanja, rock; Philipp Furrer & the Transatlantik Ensemble, Swiss world music; Trio Willi Valotti, folk music; "Wiibli ond Mandli" and others
The Bergkirchlikon concerts are almost legendary. Every Tuesday at five o'clock, musicians perform in the 532-year-old chapel at 1900 meters above sea level. Readings and lectures round off the varied program. When the weather is fine, many of the events take place on the enchanting forest stage in Arosa.
