Workshops and Lectures
The Summa Cum Laude Festival offers all performing groups the opportunity to participate in unique workshops, that will be held in Vienna’s University of Music. These workshops offer an inspirational occasion where individual groups as well as combined ensembles may qualitatively enhance their musical knowledge under the tutelage of distinguished lecturers.
All participating groups will take part in two interactive workshops, For the choirs, these will be held together with other groups if possible. The workshops are conducted by members of the festival’s jury. Participants will have the chance to study new pieces and will receive musical and technical advice from the experienced teachers.
Furthermore all participants will take part in a lecture held by a former member of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
The workshops and the lecture will have a length of approximately 45 minutes each.
Orchestra and Band workshops
