Gustav Mahler Academy Voice

2025

For Gustav Mahler the art of singing was central to his musical existence. He discovered, shaped and guided the greatest singers of his day like Marie Gutheil-Schoder, Anna von Mildenburg and Lilli Lehmann. The Gustav Mahler Academy acknowledges this part of Mahler’s legacy by adding a course for young singers at the beginning of their careers to its curriculum.

The Gustav Mahler Academy for Voice includes:
→ full scholarship including travel, room and board
→ two days of Masterclass with soprano Camilla Tilling
→ a week of coaching with pianist Pauliina Tukiainen (professor for Lied at Mozarteum University Salzburg)
→ collaboration with Sir John Eliot Gardiner
→ performances of one or more of Mahler’s Rückert Lieder in Bolzano and Toblach with the Mahler Academy Orchestra and Sir John Eliot Gardiner
→ performances of Mahler and Sibelius songs with Pauliina Tukiainen as part of the Academy’s chamber music concerts
