Saarburg International Music Festival - a great opportunity for a violinist who has some viola experience to work one-on-one with Violin2Viola Instructor Nana Vaughn and bring their viola playing skills to the next level, all while enjoying the beauty of Saarburg, Germany. Primarily a chamber music festival, SIMF takes place from July 15-29, 2024. It is open to high school students, college student, young professionals, and advanced adult amateurs with an application deadline of Jan. 31, 2024. Because it is not an official V2V residency, applicants who would desire to work with Nana Vaughn should apply as a violist, submit a viola audition, and specify Nana Vaughn as their private teacher. You would be performing chamber music in the festival as a violist and will be expected to prepare your chamber music in advance of the festival. Private Zoom lessons are available prior to the festival if assistance is needed. It is also recommended that V2V switchers consider signing up for the Violin2Viola online workshop on March 3, 2024.
Nana is accepting violists and violin2viola switchers who are comfortable playing viola in chamber music for this festival.
If you have not learned a viola piece, I suggest learning two contrasting movements of the Telemann Viola Concerto or Bach Suite No. 1 for purposes of auditioning for the festival. Click here for more information about applying to SIMF.
