SWISS CHAMBER ACADEMY

Rising Stars on the international scene

In cooperation with
L’ODYSSÉE FRANK MARTIN

Masterpieces of the repertoire performed by the finalists of the International Academy 2025


The Swiss Chamber Academy has proved itself since its first edition in 2014 with undeniable success. Each season, some eighty particularly talented students from all over the world are invited to take classes in performance and participate in an intense phase of rehearsals. This mentoring leads to several subscription concerts featuring string quartets, string and wind ensembles as well as singing. In keeping with the values developed by the SCC for more than 25 years, participants explore the classical and contemporary repertoire under the guidance of artists connected to the world’s greatest stages such as Heinz Holliger, Thomas Zehetmair, Hatto Beyerle, Rainer Schmid, Ilya Gringolts, to name but a few. The SCCs are committed to promoting young musicians through an ongoing dialogue among generations, encouraging them to pursue excellence, be faithful to the score, and listen as intensely as possible to each other.
