The academy, which took place from July 3-10 in the beautiful town of Lilienfeld, Lower Austria, has been organized for 44 years without interruption.

The daily activities of the young musicians took place in the medieval Lilienfeld monastery, founded in 1202 by Leopold IV, Duke of Austria and Styria.
It is important to note that the Austrian school of classical music is the best in the world and sets the world's recognized standards in performances and interpretations of classical authors.
