The Summer School of Baroque Music in Holešov focuses on performing vocal-instrumental works of older style periods in the style of informed interpretation of early music. Teaching takes place in the form of workshops and lectures led by domestic and foreign artists and teachers. This year's season offers tuition in all artistic categories that are involved in the performance of the compositions (choir, soloists, ensembles, positive organ, harpsichord, figured bass, violin, viola, cello, bassoon, flute and newly also baroque trombone – sackbut, percussion and viola da gamba). Among the lecturers of this year's run are Anastasia Baraviera, Tereza Válková, Jean-François Lombard, Robin Tyson and Roman Válek.
The Summer School of Baroque Music was founded by the conductor Roman Válek in 2003. The school is primarily intended for singers and instrumentalists who already have experience with the interpretation of early music, but it is also open to new candidates. Students who do not own nor do they have an opportunity to borrow an instrument for their studies, can agree its possible loan directly with the lecturer, or they can have an instrument of their own adjusted. From the dramaturgical point of view, workshops allow for the study and performance of otherwise hardly available works, especially oratorios, cantatas and masses. Among the lecturers are traditionally featured conductor Roman Válek, choirmaster Tereza Válková, singer Robin Tyson, cellist Anastasia Baraviera and many others. This year´s Summer School of Baroque Music will take place from 2 to 11 August 2019 at the Holešov Chateau.
In addition to rehearsing the main composition, more advanced students will have their own individual study plan to follow, the results of which they can present together with their teachers at two students’ concerts that will take place during the week. The tuition is conducted by an international team of renowned performers specialising in historically informed interpretation. There are only small groups of students (usually 3 to 6) in the individual solo classes of the School, which allows for quality teaching and individual approach to students. The outcome of the work of the School always consists in three big final concerts. Applications are accepted here until 1 June 2019.
