27. February, 2020

Organised in collaboration with the Jāzeps Vītols Latvian Academy of Music, the country’s centre for excellence in classical music training, the Riga Jurmala Academy will provide unique artistic development opportunities for young and talented musicians from the Baltics and abroad, organizing masterclasses and workshops with selected soloists and orchestra musicians drawn from the festival roster.

The Riga Jurmala Academy will offer to the young pianists an opportunity to participate in masterclasses of world-renowned pianists, visiting Riga and Jurmala to perform at the Festival.

From July 18 to July 21 musicians from the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra will share their knowledge and skills with promising young musicians from Latvia, the Baltics and other countries.

The Riga Jurmala Academy will commemorate the legacy of the exceptional Latvian artist Mariss Jansons with masterclasses for young conductors, providing an exclusive opportunity to learn from Manfred Honeck.
