AFAF Summer Music Courses in Europe

The AFAF Summer Music Courses in Europe offers students an exciting opportunity to spend two delightful summer weeks in Europe, under the tutelage of a distinguished international faculty comprised of experienced teachers and renowned chamber musicians and soloists. The AFAF Summer Music Courses in Europe is once again being organized in cooperation with Michail Markov, who served as Summer Artistic Director during the program’s debut last year.
A unique Educational Experience
The AFAF Summer Music Courses in Europe will take place between July 28 and August 10, 2008 in Enschede, a lively and picturesque European town situated in the eastern part of the Netherlands. Enschede’s well-known University of Twente has once again agreed to house our summer program, and participants will be able to make full use of the school’s music center, as well as sports and recreational facilities. Over the course of two weeks, our faculty will provide participants with daily coachings, private lessons, instruction in music theory and history, as well as a chance to participate in chamber music ensembles, masterclasses and recitals. Upon the conclusion of the program, participants will be awarded an International Diploma attesting to their successful completion of the AFAF Summer Music Courses in Europe.
A Chance to Explore Europe
In addition to courses offered by this program, participants will also have the opportunity to enjoy the charm and vitality our host town, Enschede, as well as its surrounding countryside. Enschede’s proximity to Germany, Belgium and, of course, Netherland’s capital Amsterdam makes it a perfect starting point for a variety of excursions and trips.
