International Masterclasses Berlin is a group of motivated and exciting professional musicians, led by condcutor Gil Raveh, who gathered to make a change and suggest a different way for music studying, teaching and performing in the orchestral conducting field. Our team consists of very experienced musicians, from all the musical performing, production, managing and teaching fields. Based in Berlin, Germany, ”the creative capital of Europe”, we cooperate with some of the most important institutes and facilities and providing the highest level of learning atmosphere possible. In our philosophy, we see the participant in the center of our courses.to whom we offer a unique overall “suit”, which sews all the aspects of courses from a such into a one unified idea – the musical performance. Therefore, we always have an open to the public final concert in the end of the course. For us, the final concert is the culmination of a whole week of intensive studying, rehearsing, practicing and discussing. We believe that each one of the active participants in our courses MUST have the opportunity to participate in a real concert, in order to be able to express, what they gained during the week. In order to maintain high teaching standards and to make the course as rewarding as it can be, we always limit the number of participation to 10 active participants. In some cases to 12 but never more. This to guarantee longer and more focused time with the teacher and the orchestra, and above all taking decent part in the final concert. Our long years experience in organizing different musical event, from opera productions to a large scale international masterclasses gives us a vast perspective about how these courses should be organized and executed, logistically and artistically. We see the participants experience at the top of our priorities and we are trying to make thier participation, as well as their stay in Berlin as productive and rewarding as we possibly can. We hope to to see you in one of our next courses. You are welcome to apply on our website, or contact us for more details.
