Music Academy, Santa Barbara, California
Founded in 1947 and located in Santa Barbara, California, the Music Academy produces an annual eight-week Summer Festival emphasizing the highest caliber of classical music training for 140 fellows with more than 120 public performances and events. Fellows come on full scholarship from across the world to the Music Academy campus, Miraflores, a ten-acre garden estate overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Fellows participate in private lessons; masterclasses and studio classes; multiple orchestra, chamber music, solo, and ensemble performances; opera productions; and world premiere performances of Music Academy commissions. Fellows work with a faculty of internationally acclaimed artists such as Sasha Cooke, John Churchwell, Jeremy Denk, Glenn Dicterow, Jonathan Feldman, Richie Hawley, and The Takacs Quartet. They have the opportunity to enter competitions in duo, instrumental, solo piano, and art song categories. In recent years, the Music Academy has partnered with the New York Philharmonic and the London Symphony Orchestra for week-long residencies at the Festival and performance opportunities for Academy fellows with the LSO in London.
