Lieder Alive!

Vocal Master Class Program at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music

The purpose of this program is to invigorate the teaching of German Lieder—a major chapter of western classical music. Such a training program, devoted exclusively to this important artistic genre, is unique in America. Exceptional students and emerging professionals from the United States and around the world will be offered the opportunity to work intensively with internationally renowned musical artists.

After the stupendous reception of our inauguration led by Thomas Hampson in October 2009, here are some further details of our Vocal Master Workshop Program in San Francisco.

•    Devoted exclusively to this important artistic genre, this program is unique in America, and has the added advantage of enhancing San Francisco’s reputation as an international cultural center.

•    We are grateful to Marilyn Horne’s for teaching a three day program from June 11th -13th, 2009.

•    Exceptional students and emerging professionals will continue to have the opportunity to work intensively over several days at a graduate level with internationally renowned musical artists. 

•    Currently the program takes place twice annually in the grand Concert Hall at the state-of-the-art Conservatory of Music in the heart of San Francisco’s cultural district.

•    Master workshops range from two to ten days and are open to the public.

•    Our non-profit 501c3 status through Community Initiatives allows that all contributions are 100% tax-deductable.
