Here’s a one of the messages we have received after our very successful 50th masterclass. We couldn’t put it better! 🙂 We are constantly developing more innovative and challenging masterclasses with very exciting additions and programs. Stay tuned for further announcements!
Make the right decision - 2023 in Berlin with International Masterclasses Berlin!

Last night we ended our 50th masterclass with a successful final concert! As always, huge thank you goes to this special group of conductors, who chose us and came to Berlin in order to learn and further develop their passion to music. It is not taken for granted and extremely appreciated! Thank you to Prof. Metters for his dedication and unique teachings that allows conductors to explore and understand more about conducting and even more about themselves. Above all we would like to thank the beloved Berlin Sinfonietta, our exclusive partner in 50 very successful masterclasses since 2012… this one of a kind orchestra, with its rate generosity, dedication and patience is the heart of these classes, and it has a huge part in making IMB the world’s leading organization for conducting masterclasses. Thank you!!! See you all next year!

Getting ready for our 50th masterclass!
Who would have imagined that we will be doing it for so long? All credit goes to all of our partners, first and foremost the Berlin Sinfonietta, and the huge support of hundreds of conductors who trusted us and joined our classes during the past ten years! Join the ride!

Another masterclass ended yesterday with a very nice final concert! All we would like to say is Thank you!! To the conductors who gathered together in Berlin, to St Lukaskirche der Berliner Stadtmission, to Prof. Metters for his devotion, to Fiona for her engagement and playing, and above all to the unbelievably patient and supportive orchestra, our Berlin Sinfonietta Thank you!!

Final Concert!
Good luck to everyone!

Die Ruhe vor dem Sturm!

General rehearsal!
This evening 19:30 at St. Lukas final concert with Berlin Sinfonietta
Haydn, Beethoven symphonies and Mendelssohn violin concerto with Fiona Milla Jäntti
Free admission!

Some pictures from yesterday’s afternoon session with Fiona and both of our indispensable pianists, Nora and Jerome. It is a great opportunity for conductors to work with such a good (and incredibly patient!) soloist, and to really dive into, face and overcome the challenges of accompanying a concerto. All under Prof. Metters’ careful attention and valuable insights. Thank you!

Great music!

IMB and the Berlin Sinfonietta are extremely happy to invite conductors to celebrate with us our 50th masterclass! We are thankful for being able to have such a long and fruitful cooperation! Check out the amazing program and hurry up to contact us for securing your place. Auditors are warmheartedly encouraged to join as well!

Getting warmed up for the 49th masterclass with the Berlin Sinfonietta Prof. Colin Metters! Conductors are still encouraged to join as auditors, and attend these special sessions, which are priceless even without the active element of the class. Final Concert on 8.10 at St Lukaskirche der Berliner Stadtmission!
See you soon:)

Following the “conducting” “competitions” in the last few years, one can notice that too many competitions are not giving the first prize. The “jury” (with their fake grandiosity) decides that the level is not high enough for their prestigious first price, so they don’t give it. Even though all the contenders were selected and paid their application fees. It’s a competition, the best wins anyway. Just if it’s the 2nd prize, they have to pay less. 2nd is the new 1st, but cheaper. Or maybe it not so new… Despicable bu****it.

It seems that conductors today are practically having no other option than to pay “registration/application” fees for masterclasses and competitions. We say, don’t pay these non refundable payments. There is absolutely no reason to charge it, either than taking advantage of your sensitive situation in this difficult “industry”. Disgusting!

Hello friends, our next masterclass with the one and only Prof. Colin Metters is getting full. 😯 For those who showed interest, we recommend to register as soon as possible to secure a place and enjoy limited tone special offers!
