Classical Viennese Festival – A Special Summer Opportunity
Attention all ambitious students of the Chopin Academy of Music! 
We hope you’re diving deep into your preparations for the Viennese Classical Festival International! This is no ordinary challenge—it’s a golden opportunity to showcase your mastery of the Classical Period, a style that is essential for every young pianist’s growth. There’s also a special sunny summer opportunity at the end of the road…


The music of this era demands more than just technical skill—it calls for intense emotion, sharp contrasts, and surprises, all while maintaining the clarity and integrity of the pulse. 
No excessive pedal, no shortcuts—only pure control and expression without relying on superficial virtuosity. This is music that teaches discipline, subtlety, and emotional depth!


The deadline is April 3, but we all know that it’s high time to start perfecting those recordings.
And here’s even more incentive to pour your heart into it: Gold and Silver medal winners will be awarded a $300 scholarship toward the tuition of the Amici Summer Music Festival in beautiful Malibu, California! 




Don’t let this unique and fun summer opportunity slip by—get your submissions ready and make sure your performance stands out! For more information, visit www.amicisummer.org. Let’s make this year unforgettable! 
Here is one of our former students enjoying the beautiful time at Amici: Eric Shan (2023)
