In 2021, Classic Concerts Trust commenced a new partnership with the Georg Solti Accademia, run by colleagues of the team behind the New Generation Festival, and we look forward to the further development of this relationship in support of emerging talent.

The Georg Solti Accademia offers highly sought-after immersive training experiences for young opera singers and répétiteurs at the start of their careers. Created in 2004 to honour the memory of the late famous maestro Sir Georg Solti, the Solti Accademia has become one of the most successful and recognised training programmes for young operatic professionals in the world. A core part of the Accademia’s philosophy is to raise the funds required to allow its artists to train for free, ensuring that the organisation can offer its training to the very best young musicians each year regardless of their financial status or nationality.

The Conductor’s Academy was formed in 2009 with the support and encouragement of the legendary Russian maestro, Yuri Simonov to further develop and disseminate knowledge about the development of the highest levels of conducting skills.

Projects have included masterclasses in the UK, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Estonia and Brazil, with students from every part of the world. Through online interaction the reach has extended to many thousands of people.

In 2017 the 1st Audite International Competition was a world first: a conducting competition with screened jury and judgement on the basis of sound. The idea was to help clarify that skilled conducting is not merely visible but also clearly audible.

Our newest partnership is with the Mascarade Opera Studio, a world-class institution for opera training situated in the heart of Florence which opens its doors in September 2020.

As part of a network that includes The New Generation Festival, MOS has been established to prepare young and exceptionally talented opera singers and répétiteurs for major careers in opera. Providing an unparalleled post-conservatoire training programme for emerging talent, the studio has developed close international relationships and collaborations with leading opera houses, music festivals and other higher music education institutions throughout Europe and beyond.

Mission

Our mission is to produce great musical projects and innovative solutions for sharing them more effectively.

We believe that artistic experience brings huge value to quality of life and that as our world becomes ever-more technologically oriented people become increasingly alienated and in need of experiences to provide a means relating both to themselves and to others. We also believe that music is relevant to people of all walks of life, cultural background and ability.
