Seefeld Music Days are a "rising star" in the European festival sky
The 14th Seefeld Music Days are history. From 2 to 20 August, the "rising star" in the European festival sky had filled the plateau community with classical sounds at the very highest level. A total of eight concerts thrilled the audience and gave an insight into what founder and organiser Rudens Turku and his team put together for the students every year.
"With tireless passion and energy, Rudens Turku has built up a place of pilgrimage for young students, where the best professors in Europe pass on their knowledge and skills to the next generation with patience and inspiration," enthuses his colleague Prof. Malte Refardt, who, one of the best in the world in his field, has been a bassoon lecturer at the Music Days for 10 years. What began in 2009 with one teacher and six students has become a success story in 2022 with 20 teachers and 120 young musicians. Also for the Seefeld region: this year alone, around 1000 overnight stays were generated.
While for guests and locals it is above all the big concerts - 2022 starting with the traditional Night of Classics, a brilliant first opera evening, a concert for piano and double bass as well as a church concert for trumpet and bassoon - that are a special highlight of the summer, for the students it is the many hours they can spend with the best professors of the European classical music scene as well as their final concerts.
"Seefeld is my personal treasure, the time here my meditation to get back on the right track in music," is how Athina Rehse from Greece sums up her enthusiasm for the Music Days. The professional musician was a student from the very beginning and has remained loyal to the Music Days ever since. Many come back, most of them because they appreciate the tranquillity of Tyrol's high plateau and the excellent opportunities for practising in Seefeld. "In 2017, the landscape blew me away," recalls Ukrainian Mark Sagin. "Today I appreciate Seefeld as a place where I can work intensively on myself and my violin playing." It is probably this combination of alpine landscape and intensive work that makes the Music Days. Or summarised in Professor Refardt's words: "It is always a joy and an honour for me to recharge my batteries and pass on musical energy in the beautiful Seefeld mountains."
This energy has once again spilled over to the audience in this year's concerts and has paved the way for classical sounds to float over Tyrol's high plateau in the summer of 2023, then already for the 15th time.
