Mühldorf Summer Academy masterclasses at the Hans-Prähofer-Haus

At the heart of the Mühldorf Summer Academy masterclasses is the Hans-Prähofer-Haus. It is home to the Städtische Musikschule Mühldorf a. Inn.

Its purpose-equipped practice and teaching rooms provide excellent conditions for concentrated musical work. In addition, the building is home to the Astor Piazzolla Concert Hall. The hall features a Steinway Model A grand piano.

Therefore, the Hans-Prähofer-Haus provides an ideal setting for the Academy’s annual masterclasses. These include violin, viola, violoncello, double bass and tango chamber music.

Music and cultural encounters in Mühldorf am Inn

However, the experience of the Summer Academy extends beyond its teaching rooms. Mühldorf’s picturesque historic centre also contributes to the distinctive atmosphere of the Academy. Its characteristic arcades, restaurants and cultural venues provide an attractive setting for participants.

Furthermore, venues such as the Ökonomiestadel and Haberkasten connect the masterclasses with public performances. In this way, the town itself becomes part of the Academy experience.

Consequently, musical excellence and personal interaction are closely connected with Mühldorf’s distinctive surroundings. Together, these elements create exceptional conditions for artistic development. They also provide experiences that extend beyond the individual masterclass.

Statement from the General Director

The General Director’s statement captures the ambition behind the Mühldorf Summer Academy. Highly qualified teachers and outstanding emerging musicians form the foundation of the programme. Professional teaching and performance facilities further support their work.

Yet Mühldorf provides more than an organisational setting. Its music school, concert venues and historic town centre create a distinctive environment. Here, musical development, cultural exchange and personal encounters come together.

Ultimately, the Mühldorf Summer Academy masterclasses combine artistic ambition with intensive musical development. At the same time, they connect young musicians with experienced teachers and the cultural life of Mühldorf am Inn.
