EuropEan ChambEr musiC aCadEmy6

over the years, the European Chamber music academy has become more and more European. it has been recognised as the highest level of international training, new partners

(institutions and universities of music) have been added, there has been more cooperation, and new ensembles (often consisting of young artists from different countries) have become a part of it. We can thus say that it has been a successful adventure so far.

but being european is also a great responsibility. Chamber music’s in-ternationally recognised point of reference is European chamber music. and there indeed is a common basis, a common tradition here. but at the same time, multiple languages and multiple cultures are involved. Composers think in their own languages and with reference to their own cultures, and the thoughts and intentions behind written music are almost always tied thereto.

For this reason, if we want to be Europeans, we need to be federalists, in music as elsewhere: we cannot refer to a cultural unicum, but much rather need to learn about and recognise the differences that exist. it may seem all too simple as an idea, but it is in precisely these differen-ces that we find the real opportunity of being together.

hence the itinerant approach of the ECma sessions; hence the presence of great teachers from different backgrounds; and hence ECma’s spirit, which is not about teaching the one and only interpretation but about offering reflections on the music in order to discover its ability to unite amidst all differences.

if ECma, working with this approach, can help shape a generation of artists able not only to play music at the highest level but also to convey the thoughts behind the music, convey its aesthetic, philoso phical, and social values, then it will have achieved its goal.

make music, think music, search for reasons and emotions in music, and move those who are listening. be together. Grow together. That’s all it is. Which is no small thing!

Mathias Deichmann

Just as there exists no ensemble that “is” once and for all, ECma, too, needs to be understood as a permanent process of growth. by constantly rethinking and developing the very idea of chamber

music, we aim to secure the future of its practice at the highest level. The great masterpieces of the enormously rich repertoire can surely be counted among the peak achievements of human civilization, and this in and of itself makes playing chamber music on an outstanding level an uplifting experi-ence for players and audiences alike! besides which: could not thinking, feeling, speaking, and expressing music together in autonomous groups serve very well as a model for society in general?

ECma will continue to explore the multitude of European and non-European cultural backgrounds, making use of the huge potential of diverse traditions and innovative ideas. and since we understand our work to be a combination of several major missions (as an educational programme, as an artistic think-tank, as a network, and in terms of our societal impact), we are happy that the integration of ECma alumni as our second generation of tutors is already well on its way!

The Erasmus+ strategic partnership project ECma next step has strongly intensified the academic bonds between the ECma partners. The most important outcome of its various working goals will be the first European Joint master programme for established chamber music ensembles, to be launched in autumn 2019.

ECma has been successful at deepening the collaborative ties between the core partners as well as initiating a process of opening up to a wider circle for cooperative arrangements. Working together with more and more festivals, concert halls, and organisations in the world of classical music helps us bridge the gap between the music market and what is perceived as the realm of training and education.

may we keep on learning while cherishing the specialities and peculiarities entailed by our differences, at the same time joining our forces in the most effective way possible as ECma embarks upon its 15th year.

it is my strong conviction that ECma, as a truly European project, simply has to make a difference in these challenging times of change!

Johannes Meissl

dear young musicians,dear friends, dear colleagues,

you have here before you ECma’s report on its past year. ECma is not an in-stitution that lives from the success of its ensembles. When ECma ensembles achieve success –about which you can also read in this report – then it is owed above all to the great amount of work that these ensembles have invested, as well as to their members’ genuine curiosity. in our profession, genuine curiosity is a fundamental prerequisite for success. and to seek out ECma is to seek out the key that unlocks the infinite, fantastic realm of art. no human culture would be imaginable without art, especially not without music and time, without time and space, and without the infinite repetition of the finite. This unfathomability, which all music has in common, lies in the act of creation that begins with and within the composer – and that we musicians, whenever we deal with music, must reinvoke. doing so requires that we be modest and attentive to our own selves as we bow down deeply before the greatness of all true art.

We who seek to lead you toward this art strive to use music’s linguisticality to build a bridge, awakening within you an authentic and meaningful understan-ding of that which can only become real through you. We have no “teachers” in the sense of so many other summer courses or similar programs. our in-tent is always to discover music anew through you and with you, with our experience in dealing with music’s grammar and its melody as a language being meant to provide you with support – a challenging undertaking! it must be clear, here, that this objective cannot be reached in just a few phases of work. and for this reason, we seek a voluntary commitment from you to take part in as many of the ECma sessions as possible.

ECma is not a typical academy. all of us strive with you and through you to approach the great mystery of music, its inexplicable magic as well as all the philosophy with which it is connected.

in this spirit, i wish everyone with an affinity for our work and for our intellectual goals a happy and successful new year of 2018.

Hatto Beyerle

With chamber music’s heightened significance both in the labour market and on European concert stages, educators and musicians are now facing new challenges and opportunities to develop and innovate so as

to make possible chamber music activities at the highest level. one of the main goals of this three-year strategic programme is to ensure the utmost quality of chamber music training and proactively meet the challenges and opportunities that the increasing demand for chamber music entails. This strategic programme thus aims to modernise higher education in the classical music field by strengthening its chamber music component.

ECma next step is a partnership programme that will aim to develop new content for the ECma training programme in terms of curriculum, mobility, and recognition, as well as to further develop existing chamber music expertise. a special focus will be on the pedagogical knowledge and skills of chamber music instructors in the interest of strengthening chamber music’s position in regular training programmes. it also intends to establish a new organisational structure for ECma in the form of a joint European master’s programme for Chamber music, which will make ECma a more sustainable effort in the context of the opportunities offered by the bologna process and the Erasmus+ programme. The programme outcomes will include a new ECma teaching and learning manual on chamber music, the aforementioned master’s programme, and a project evaluation.

The ECma next step application was submitted in 2015 and was granted funding in the amount of Eur 398,789 from the Erasmus+ programme. The project period is from 1 september 2015 to 1 september 2018.

seven partners from institutions of higher music education in Vienna, oslo, The hague, Vilnius, paris, manchester, and Fiesole, as well as the two festivals of Grafenegg and prades, are cooperating to create the best possible tools for chamber music education today and to secure the greatest possible effort in the field of classical music education.

Project orgAnisAtion:

The steering committee is located in oslo and coordinated with the ECma office in Vienna. The programme includes two working groups focussed on teaching and learning and on the Joint master programme, respectively. The project will be evaluated by an external evaluator, and both students and teachers will participate in the programme until its conclusion on 1 september 2018.

BAckground:

Chamber music training is increasingly becoming a crucial component of per formance degree curricula in higher music education institutions all over the world because of the shift from permanent forms of employment with fixed contracts to employment situations where musicians work freelance and combine different professional activities in the form of portfolio careers. opportunities in the traditional areas of employment such as orchestras and opera houses are growing scarcer, while chamber music is experiencing a heightened degree of significance on the international concert stage.

in the 21st century, chamber music is also increasingly being viewed as a vital pedagogical tool for the training of broadly applicable skills important for the musician in the 21st century. in chamber music, things like teamwork, peer- learning, and reflective practicing are essential basic principles, and mastering the associated skills will support musicians in preparing themselves to be reflective practitioners in their future portfolio careers.

While the response of music-centred institutions of higher education to these new realities has been slow, the ECma consortium views chamber music as an ideal tool with which to modernise present-day higher education in classical music. by adapting their curricula, these institutions can make the necessary adjustments.This requires the further development of an elite training programme that can gather the most talented people and the most advanced methods and knowledge in the interest of supporting a European chamber music scene of the highest possible quality. strong chamber music programmes based at institutions can play an important role in the mainstreaming of chamber music and its artistic and pedagogical benefits to standard training programmes in music.

ecMA – educAtionAl ProgrAMMeECma ensembles selected by audition are entitled to participate in ECma sessions. These sessions offer chamber music coaching by renowned musicians plus relevant lectures, seminars, and excursions that are compulsory.

Furthermore, ensembles are given the opportunity to present themselves to a wider public through concerts, performances and recordings.

ECma’s ongoing training cycle covers a period that normally lasts two years, with seven to eight sessions per year.

in contrast to the attendance of isolated master classes, regular participation in as many ECma sessions as possible assures young ensembles continuity of high- profile coaching by well-established tutors and combines interpretational work with impulses from the academic realm.

Each session takes place at an ECma partner institution or at a partner festival. participation is free of charge for ECma ensembles. Costs arising in connection with travel and lodging are usually covered by the ensembles themselves.

Thanks to its mentors, ECma possesses the power to motivate each and every ensemble on a highly individual level, with every course exciting and every new piece of information a discovery. it’s an adventure in living through music, inspiring us to improve ourselves as musicians.giocoso string QuArtet

ECma is where we developed our ability to speak in music.gAlAteA QuArtet

it is very important for me to be part of this fantastic teaching experience, focused on how to transfer a wonderful musical language made of beauty and purity, sharing it with the most promising musicians.Miguel dA silvA

For the teachers and students at the academy in oslo, it is a great inspiration to be a member of ECma. it enables us to connect with the best of European traditions in a wonderful way.arE sandbaKKEn, norGEs musiKKhøGsKoLE


ECma a însemnat una din cele mai importante etape pentru dezvoltarea noastră ca ansamblu, și mai mult decât atât, a fost și este ca o familie pentru noi. ECma este locul unde am învăţat ce înseamnă muzica de cameră în toate aspectele ei profunde, alături de personalităţi marcante ale vieţii muzicale internaţionale.ArcAdiA QuArtet

The paris Conservatoire’s participation in ECma has provided an invaluable European dimension to our chamber music programme, one which has had a transformative effect on participating trios and quartets. Transformative in that it has enabled these musicians to develop their international professional networks and, thanks to the exceptional musicians involved and the breadth of the artistic and contextual approaches specific to different regions of Europe, to enhance and indeed grow a “European” musical discourse whilst forging their own musical identities. in paris, we have sought to showcase both French repertoire and music-making with the specificities of Conservatoire training as well as inte-grating the city’s vast cultural resources – the re-opening of the picasso museum, for example.Bruno MAntovAni, director of the Conservatoire national supérieurde musique et de danse de paris

die arbeit mit den großartigen musikern bei der ECma hat uns im Kopf viele Türen geöffnet, uns neue Wege für unsere interpretation gezeigt und uns immer wieder zu diskussionen und zur reflexion über unser spiel angeregt.die Gemeinschaft mit den anderen Ensembles, die sich für denselben musikalischen Weg entschieden haben, war schön zu erleben, und dies hat uns in unserer Entscheidung für die Kammermusik immer wieder bestärkt und bestätigt. Es war eine spannende Zeit, von der wir noch immer profitieren!BoulAnger trio

bez European Chamber music academy z pewnością nie bylibyśmy w miejscu, w którym obecnie się znajdujemy. szczególnie intensywna współpraca z Johannesem meisslem i hatto beyerle pomogła nam zbudować solidne podstawy kwartetu i miała istotny wpływ na obecny charakter zespołu.APollon MusAgète QuArtet

For us in oslo, the opportunity to access the best impulses in European chamber music represents a great enrichment. and at our oslo sessions, it was important to us that the ECma participants have a chance to experience the highlights of our norwegian cultural history. in the midst of our session venue’s beautiful natural surroundings, we visited art museums and listened to folk music, with the partici-pants also dancing folk dances themselves.norges MusikkHøgskole

For us, ECma is one of the greatest sources of inspiration. it offers us everything we need to develop: concert appearances, intense musical work with great musical personalities, detailed work on quartet technique, and – thanks to the lectures – honing of our intellectual awareness.PAciFic QuArtet viennA

ECma is much more than an extra ordinary chamber music academy with the best tutors and the most stimulating young European ensembles: it goes beyond professional training to link music, philosophy and language in a unique way that seeks to apprehend the heart of our European culture via soctratic-style teaching and critical thinking.cuArteto QuirogA

ECma has truly been a blessing for us. streeton trio

Ever since we first heard of ECma, it was our dream to become a member. ECma allows you not only to expand your horizons in terms of musical perception, but also to enhance your communication skills and didactic knowledge while having a chance to immerse yourself in the cultures of other countries. For our lives and our career together, we view ECma as being of inestimeable value, and we’re very glad that we can be part of it.PiAno trio Fortvio

ECmassa vietetyt vuodet olivat käänteentekeviä urallamme, niin monet oppimamme asiat musiikista ovat läsnä jokapäiväisessä työssä ja elämässämme.Köyhää olisi elämämme ilman ECmaa.kAMus QuArtet


Without ECma, our group wouldn’t exist as we do today. it enormously helped our musicality, and it also helped us in learning the language and finding music’s secret beauty.에크마 없이는 지금 우리의 그룹이 현재처럼 존재하지 않을 것입니다.trio gAsPArd

The European Chamber music academy offers what every young ensemble dreams of: regular training with the most accomplished mentors you can find anywhere in the world. Though their perspectives differ, they're united by a common impetus. This impetus is like oxygen for a young ensemble, and in an ECma session, young ensembles and incredible pedagogues breath the same air. indeed, one of the unique features of ECma is the opportunity to really get to know the tutors: in a very convivial atmosphere, we can prolong the lessons with talks around a glass at Café schwarzenberg in Vienna or share opinions on a musical subject after a lecture ... and all this is very stimulating. in a nutshell, ECma is a true musician’s music course! L’ ECma, une fête de la conscience musicale!trio kArénine

ECmassa vietetyt vuodet valoivat meta4:n kivijalan ja olivat ratkaisevat meidän koko olemassaololle. ECma avasi meille suoran yhteyden jousik vartetin synnyinlähteille, on vaikea kuvitella inspiroivempaa opiskeluympäristöä nuorelle jousikvartetille.MetA4

ECma war für uns ein wunderbarer und unvergesslicher, auch intensiver abschnitt in unseren Quartettanfängen! die ersten begegnungen und unterrichtsstunden mit Legenden der musikgeschichte wie norbert brainin-amadeus Quartett, milan skampa-smetana Quartett und großen persönlichkeiten des aktuellen Konzertgeschehens waren prägende, unvergessliche momente für die wir sehr dankbar sind! das Gemeinschaftsgefühl mit den vielen anderen ECma-Gruppen, also Gleichge-sinnten wurde in den sessions vertieft. die Vorträge, Workshops und gemeinsamen Konzerte motivierten zu höchstleistungen. sehr gut in Erinnerung sind uns vor allem Fiesole, Zürich, Groß raming und Wien.Minetti QuArtett
