Welcome to the pages of the International Summer School of Early Music at Valtice

The XXIV. ISSEM will bring several innovations as a reaction to your demands and comments. We hope that you will enjoy and appreciate them.
For the very first time, there will be a Baroque harp class, with Margaret Köll as tutor. Lászlo Borsódy will teach Baroque Trumpet and Cornetto (Zink).

Dorothée Wortelboer will teach Renaissance Dances to the more advanced course members. Renaissance music will be also taught in Michael Pospisil´s class, under the title “The Psalms as ever popular hits”. Gábor Prehoffer will teach Solo Recorder.

The singers should not miss the opportunity to rehearse J. Haydn´s Te Deum and Missa S. Ceciliae by J. C. F. Fischer with Marek Štryncl, and the famous Vivaldi’s Gloria (RV 589) or Dixit Dominus by A. Lotti with Helmut Franke. The madrigal lovers will be welcome in Poppy Holden´s and Lukas Vendl´s classes. Daniel Deuter is coming back after four years to teach the Baroque Violin.
All tutors are very much looking forward to meeting you - their students!
