Winteracademy

The International WinterAcademy of Early Music Bremen 2023 is dedicated to the musical world of one of the most pan-European composers of the Baroque time: Georg Muffat.
Being the only known composer who met both Arcangelo Corelli and Jean-Baptiste Lully, he dedicated his life to the dissemination of musical styles throughout Europe.
In the concerts, lectures, and masterclasses, we invite you to explore the rich musical world of european baroque and become acquainted with the inspiring atmosphere of the Early Music Department of the University of the Arts Bremen.
