By constantly re-evaluating the treasures of our cultural heritage and developing new creative potentials in interpretation based on research into the philosophy and musical language of the 17th and 18th centuries, ECMA seeks to contribute to a society and future that are worth living in. Mission ECMA – European Chamber Music Academy is recognized as the number one “talent laboratory” for European chamber music ensembles. ECMA is dedicated to promoting young, aspiring, elite ensembles – and hence to promoting the tradition and development of European chamber music. It has charitable organization-status and its activities are non-profit-making. ECMA was founded in 2004 at the initiative of Hatto Beyerle. It is an association of European music universities, conservatoires and festivals in the field of chamber music that, together, provide ongoing training for chamber music ensembles. Within this program, the partner institutions host regular sessions (lasting one week each; seven or more weeks per year). Renowned tutors work intensively with the ensembles, imparting to them new impulses for their artistic work. The young musicians will receive aditional impulses from lectures and focused workshops on topics including cultural history, historically informed performance, and philosophy. In addition to helping participants explore the importance and impact of cultural knowledge such as rhetoric and Greek verse in order to gain a more profound understanding of European music, ECMA also collaborates with academic partners on research projects in various fields. And of course, ECMA also works to develop new networks by bringing together people from different backgrounds and cultures. 6 European Chamber Music Academy © stephan polzer Facts European Chamber Music Academy 7 partners partners mdw – Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien – AUSTRIA grafenegg – AUSTRIA Address Joseph Haydn Institut für Kammermusik und Spezialensembles Anton-von-Webern-Platz 1 1030 Vienna www.mdw.ac.at/ijh/ Address Grafenegg Kulturbetriebsgesellschaft m.b.H.

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 Avoir vécu l’expérience ECMA, c’est avoir vécu une aventure humaine et artistique qui a façonné et soudé notre trio d’une manière déterminante, et qui marquera toute notre vie de musicien. Trio Atanassov We are grateful for the time that we were able to spend with you and ECMA. We learned a lot and got to know great people. Berolina Trio 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 ECMA is THE chamber music program! We learned more about the repertoire and about music there, and we met incredible and enthusiastic teachers. Many thanks for everything! Trio Chausson Ecma è la casa per Giovani Quartetti Quarteto di Cremona 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.

ensembles about ECMA ECMA ensembles about ECMA II 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 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 participants also dancing folk dances themselves. Norges musikkhøgskole 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 are, 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, share opinions on a musical subject after a lecture... 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 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 extraordinary chamber music academy with the best tutors and the most stimulating young european ensembles: it goes beyond professional trainingg 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 ECMAssa vietetyt vuodet valoivat Meta4:n kivijalan ja olivat ratkaisevat meidän koko olemassaololle. ECMA avasi meille suoran yhteyden jousikvartetin synnyinlähteille, on vaikea kuvitella inspiroivempaa opiskeluympäristöä nuorelle jousikvartetille. Meta4 32 European Chamber Music Academy © Stephan Polzer 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 Gleichgesinnten wurde in den Sessions vertieft. Die Vorträge, Workshops und gemeinsamen Konzerte motivierten zu Höchstleistungen. Sehr gut in Erinnerung sind uns vor allem Fiesole, Zürich, Großraming und Wien. Minetti Quartett ECMA has truly been a blessing for us. Streeton Trio Ever since we first heard of ECMA, it’s been 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 ECMA was lifechanging.
