The Summer Piano Academy was founded in 2001 by Nina Orotchko, the artistic director of the artist and concert management company “Musical Discovery”. For 27 years, it has introduced young international musicians to Zurich audiences by organizing concerts at both leading Swiss universities (ETH and Uni Zurich).
The historic Benedictine monastery of Disentis, now home to 22 monks, has been the home of the ISKA since 2019, where students, listeners and professors are not only motivated to do arduous work, but also have time to relax and enjoy the beautiful nature of the Swiss Alps at the source of the Rhine. The monastery also offers excellent accommodation, participants can visit, among other things, the unique monastery museum and library with historical music scores, observe the daily life of the monks and attend masses in the newly renovated cathedral.
All this makes the 14-day course at Disentis an unforgettable experience for each participant, opening doors into the professional music world.
