Alessandro and Domenico Scarlatti

Gmunden 13. - 24. Juli 2011

These two great musicians have a lot to tell us! We will explore the rich tradition of vocal music in Naples reflected in the works of Alessandro, father of the italian cantata, experience the change of style and taste between father and son and finally meet Domenico's amazing generation (he was born in the same magical year 1685 as J.S.Bach and G.F.Händel)

We would like every participant to get involved with the main theme of the course, in solo and/or chamber music. But we will also be happy to work on the repertoire which is important for your development right now.

We hope you will take the chance to have lessons not only with the teacher of your speciality, every class is open. At the end, we share the results of our work with the Gmunden public in final concerts.

If it is your first visit to the ABA, a short recording will be very helpful (a simple mp3 recorded at home and sent per e-mail is good enough!), since we need to know you to be able to plan our work.

ABA: an intense yet relaxed working atmosphere with a highly motivated teaching team and fellow students from all over the world in a unique place.

Artistic Director 2011: Ruben Dubrovsky
