Young Talents

Chamber Music Academy in Kaplice

The Chamber Music Academy Talent Showcase will combine precision and unbridled youth in a new festival location.

When precision and unbridled youth come together. This could also be the subtitle of the chamber concert in the Church of St. Peter and Paul in Kaplice. The scholarship holders of the Academy of Chamber Music (AKH), i.e., the future of the Czech classical music scene, will perform. The Academy of Chamber Music supports young talents from the Czech Republic. It was founded in 2015 by cellist Tomáš Jamník, with an international scope thanks to close cooperation with the German Villa Musica Rheinland-Pfalz Foundation. This allows young musicians to regularly perform on stages all over Europe. They will also have an afternoon chamber concert in Kaplice. They will present a varied programme of chamber works in the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, which makes its festival premiere.

The concert will be part of the unique Kaplice Music Day, during which it will be possible to attend three concerts:

Academy of Chamber Music

The Academy of Chamber Music is dedicated to the promotion of young talent from the Czech Republic and education in chamber music. Teaching is carried out in the form of projects during which scholarship holders prepare a programme together with lecturers, which they perform together in several follow-up concerts. Each year the Academy provides scholarships to selected students. It has an international dimension thanks to the close cooperation with the German Villa Musica Rheinland-Pfalz Foundation, which provides an opportunity for Czech participants to meet and perform together on stage with top students and teachers from German universities. Each season, Villa Musica Foundation teachers are accompanied by selected teachers and soloists from the Czech Republic, such as Josef Špaček, Jan Mráček, Jan Mach, Přemysl Vojta, etc. The projects of the Chamber Music Academy are organized with the support of the Czech-German Future Fund, the Central Bohemia Region, the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and others.
