The Orpheus Institute offers a unique opportunity to participate at the second edition of  The Historical Piano Summer Academy on, 5–11 July 2020 directed by Tom Beghin and Camilla Köhnken.
 
If you’re a pianist, interested in historical instruments and the study of Beethoven and his era, and are presently pursuing master’s or doctoral-level research, this camp is made for you.  During one week, you will have ample access to a collection of instruments, interact with various members of the research cluster Declassifying the Classics, receive feedback on your playing and artistic research, and present yourself in two public concerts.

The participants should choose two pieces connected with two different instruments—one by Beethoven, the other by one of his contemporaries.
A maximum of four participants will be selected.
