Musethica is an international music education programme designed for advanced young musicians and chamber music ensembles. Combining high-level music training with social engagement, it aims to enhance interpretative skills through a large number of performance opportunities alongside Musethica tutors, nurturing inspiration, listening abilities, and overall musical proficiency.
Joining Musethica means becoming part of an international community of talented young musicians who refine their performance skills while engaging with diverse audiences. The programme provides invaluable stage experience, allowing participating musicians to refine their interpretation while developing resilience, artistic flexibility, and a deeper understanding of music.
Throughout two seasons, accepted musicians or ensembles have the opportunity to participate in multiple Musethica Sessions or Chamber Music Festivals. The activities take place in Austria, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, Ukraine, and Portugal. Several of these sessions take place within the frame of the initiative 1000+ Concerts: Innovating Higher Music Education through Social Inclusion, co-funded by the European Union.
The tuition fee, as well as travel and accommodation expenses, are covered for all accepted participants. In 2025, young musicians can apply as individuals or with an established chamber music ensemble in the following categories:
Violin • Viola • Violoncello • String Quartet
The selection process for new applications to Musethica is managed by Musethica’s International Artistic Committee (IAC), responsible for assessing both individual musicians and ensembles.
To ensure fairness and impartiality in the selection process, the members of the IAC assess the musicians strictly based on their performance, without receiving any CVs or background information.
The application deadline is April 15th, 2025. The results will be announced before the Summer 2025.
