Hardly anything is as magical as the moment of artistic inspiration. Therefore, it's best not to let it pass and to immediately put one's ideas onto paper.
A joint project of the Carinthian Music Academy (CMA) and the Gustav Mahler Private University in Klagenfurt.
The Carinthian Music Academy (CMA) initiates an inspiring platform with the new composition competition, offering space for young and contemporary composers to create innovative works and further develop their musical signature. With this competition, we aim to enrich the diversity of the musical landscape and to specifically promote the creation of qualified specialist literature.The CMA Composition Competition is intended to be held annually, with each year focusing on a different genre or ensemble. This diversity not only supports the development of new artistic forms of expression but also strengthens the visibility and recognition of young composers on their path to the professional music world. By publicly performing the winning works, we bring these new compositions closer to a broad audience and promote a lively dialogue between artists and listeners.
The CMA has been passionately dedicated to the topic of brass for years and is today a central player in the promotion of young emerging musicians. In 2025, the competition will be themed around Brass Band composition. Our goal is to provide new impulses to the Brass Band scene and inspire young talents to create creative works for this ensemble. In 2026, the series will continue with a focus on choral works.

In 2025, the renowned Master Class will once again take place, led by none other than the world-famous baritone Thomas Hampson. The Master Class is organized in collaboration with the Gustav Mahler Private University for Music in Klagenfurt (GMPU) and the Millstatt Music Weeks. Thomas Hampson is looking forward to working with young singers: “I want to motivate people and support them in their development.”
Thomas Hampson boasts an unparalleled international career as an opera, concert, and lieder singer. The American baritone performs on leading concert and opera stages worldwide and is celebrated as an "Ambassador of Song." Millstatt holds a special place in the star baritone’s heart—he performed there for the seventh time in 2023 as part of the Millstatt Music Weeks. In 2024, he will share his extensive knowledge and experience with young vocal talents through this Master Class.
Over the course of four days, young singers will work with Hampson on a varied repertoire under the theme “Lied and Opera.” The highlight of the program is a collaborative concert evening where Thomas Hampson and the young talents will interpret renowned works together.

How do horns work in pop music? What do pop producers want to hear? What does the song need? How can a horn section navigate the fine line between complex jazz and uninspired long tones? Thorsten and Horst-Michael explore these and other questions in their workshops, offering insights into the role of a horn section in a pop setting. Participants will collaboratively arrange horn parts for different styles and songs while refining their sense of ensemble playing and phrasing. The workshop also delves into soloing in pop music: How do horn players improvise over pop tracks? How much jazz influence is appropriate? And how can you create an engaging solo with minimal tonal material? Beyond that, Thorsten and Horst-Michael provide hands-on advice for trumpeters, saxophonists, and trombonists on instrument selection, microphone techniques, in-ear monitoring, as well as live and studio performance.

Playing the piano is a musical activity with a comprehensive experiential dimension. This dimension of experience forms a unity of motor elements and mental and emotional phenomena. It does not make sense to separate the technical and motor aspects in their diversity from the experience of music, because “technology” and music are not opposites but rather form an inseparable unity. Some aspects of this workshop will be:
Speed in runs, arpeggios and irregular passages
Thirds, sixths, octaves
Strength and endurance
Security in performance
Memory
Sound
Movement-weight-precision
Dynamics and their designWith this in mind, we will discuss the problems of virtuosity from the holistic aspect of musical creation. Please prepare 2-3 works for the course that we can work on as examples. The course is aimed at pianists who are looking for support in the artistic design of their pieces. Ana-Marija Markovina explained the pedagogical basis for this course in her book “GLÜCKS-Spiel” (Staccato-Verlag).
Ana-Mirija Markovina is supported in her educational work by the pianist Paula Muthig - the course participants therefore have two professional contacts at their disposal.
C-Level: at least 3 years of playing experience. In terms of playing technique, you should at least be able to handle: Chopin: easier waltzes, moderately difficult sonatas by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, inventions by Bach.
D-Level: significantly advanced players with many years of playing experience and experience with technically demanding literature.
