YOMA master class and course in Talent Programme January

Application deadline: 10 November. For Swedish and Nordic string and wind talents. Visiting educators are also welcome.
The course is given on site in Vänersborg. The course welcomes you (approx. 10-18 years) who are in the Talent Programme or who want to apply for it. You participate in part of the teaching with Polstjärnepriset – the course part 2, which takes place at the same time.

The course is also suitable for those who

• are too young for the Polstjärnepriset competition and course, but have a high level
• cannot participate in Polstjärnepriset (due to Polstjärnepriset’s attendance requirements in both November and January)

If you want to apply for the Talent Programme, you need to send a link to a recording on YouTube or Vimeo to yoma@yomacenter.se. You may then be invited to the course for trial lessons and/or an entrance exam.

All YOMA courses are free of charge. If you play oboe, bassoon, French horn, tuba, viola or double bass and participate on site in Vänersborg, we will pay for your travel (not flights) plus full board for one day.

Course content

• Individual and group lessons as well as master classes for prominent professors
• High-level orchestral playing
• Chamber music and ensemble playing
• Concertmaster and conductor training

If you are well prepared and needed in our ensembles and orchestras, you may be asked to participate in one or more of our concerts.
