AIMS, the leading European summer vocal program and the most
comprehensive course of its kind, brings future opera and concert performers together with an eminent faculty and the outstanding AIMS
Festival Orchestra in a stimulating, one-of-a-kind experience. Dedicated to bridging the gap between musical training and a career in music,
AIMS In Graz concentrates on individual technical development and a professional approach to a career in music. The focus is on the serious
musician aspiring to a career in music. Many young artists who participated in AIMS have become celebrated performers on the world´s stages.
AIMS is an intensive training program in the study and performance of vocal music, both opera and German Lieder, as it relates to the singer
and collaborative pianist. Distinguished teachers from Europe and America with extensive teaching/performing experience make up the AIMS Faculty.
For the instrumentalist, the 70-member AIMS Festival Orchestra in Graz provides a unique experience with European conductors and the operatic and
symphonic repertoire.
 The six-week AIMS in Graz program
is held in the area that gave birth to the great traditions of middle European music-making. Graz, over 850 years old, is the capital of
the Austrian province of Steiermark (Styria). Its beautifully restored Old City, the largest in Europe, is an architectural treasure and is rated by
National Geographic as the fifth most reconmmended destination in the world. Steiermark
has a beautiful and varied landscape ranging from mountains for hiking to green hillsides and valleys or food and wine production.
Come explore them all!
The rich cultural tradition of Graz and Steiermark dates to the 14th century when Graz was the residence of
the Austrian Emperor. That tradition continues today through the opera house, drama theaters, excellent concert halls
and a creative concert calendar. This tradition provides a supportive atmosphere for study and for the concerts
that showcase AIMS artists. With more than 30 performance
opportunities each summer, the AIMS Recital and Concert Series features opera and operetta concerts,
song recitals and other musical programs in concert halls, castles, courtyards, churches and other venues.
The AIMS Festival in Graz features operatic and symphonic works and culminates with the annual Meistersinger
Vocal Competition presented with full orchestra.
No conservatory, university or other summer experience offers as much
concentrated instruction in so short a period. Vocal Lessons, Opera and Lieder Coaching, Master Classes,
Foreign Language Diction, Conversational German, Stagecraft, Repertoire and Career Guidance, Auditions for Agents
and Presenters, professional career strategy, and numerous networking opportunities; AIMS in Graz offers these
advantages and more.
Attend AIMS in Graz to learn, to perform, to grow... as a musician and as a citizen of the world.
This unique program in this beautiful setting is an experience that can be life changing!
