62nd German-Scandinavian Music Week 2026
For the 62nd time, approximately 120 young musicians will meet again at this dynamic international choir and orchestra workshop on the German-Danish border. Throughout the week, a challenging programme will be rehearsed and presented in two public concerts. Rehearsals will be held in tutti, as well as sectional, conducted by lecturers of the different orchestra and choir groups. A major focus lies on the interaction between different cultures, especially between participants from Scandinavia, the Baltic States and Germany – however, participants from all over the world are most welcome. The last Music Week hosted participants from eleven different nations. Alongside the main orchestra and choir sessions, participants have the option of taking part in a variety of different workshops on various topics in the so called “Workshop Night”. Participants are also welcome to join the common choir or rehearse chamber music in different combinations. The results of these extra curricular rehearsal sessions will be presented in three in-house concerts.

Choir or orchestra?
When registering, we ask for a commitment for the choir or the orchestra atelier. All participants will also have the opportunity to take part in joint choral singing as well as to work on chamber music in a wide variety of instrumentations. The results of this work will be presented in three house concerts during the music week. Scandinavian and international folk dance will also be offered as a joint event.
The course is intended for music students and music teachers who want to broaden their experience in orchestral playing, and for good amateurs who can meet the high demands of the program, as well as active choir singers (choir experience and sight-singing skills are required). Working languages are English and German, minimum age is 16 years.
