Evelyn Schorkhuber
Artistic Director and Director of Vocal Arts
I want you to welcome you to the Austrian Summer Music Festival. I grew up in the most wonderful place in the Austrian Mountains, in Weyer.
I would like to share my village with as many young musicians as possible, to help them grow as musicians, in their technique, and artistic expression -and to feel and be connected to each other their whole life.
We will have concerts every day and the honor to have an amazing faculty, professors from the best orchestras, opera houses and institutes worldwide and each student will get the chance to play for the jury of the International Osaka Competition.
I want to welcome you with all my heart and can t wait to meet you all and have the most inspirational time together.
