Our Story

The Gustav Mahler Academy was established by the City Council of Bolzano in 1999, with the aim of organizing the Gustav Mahler Academy. The original idea of establishing the Academy, however, had come to Claudio Abbado earlier in 1996. He wished bringing together talented young musicians and internationally renowned teachers beyond the context of Universities and Conservatories usual activities.

The idea was that famous professors from the most prestigious European orchestras and music Universities could pass on their experience to young musicians by holding lessons in a number of fields, from chamber music to the preparation for auditions, thus helping them develop a more practical and knowledgeable approach to their future profession of orchestra musicians.

Bolzano in those years was a culturally thriving city: a number of projects were taking shape, such as the University, the Municipal Theatre, the Concert Hall, the “Museion” (for Modern and Contemporary Art). Moreover, since 1982 Claudio Abbado had already been a frequent guest, with his presence during the periods of residence - and leading related concerts - of European Community Youth Orchestra (ECYO), which had later become the European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO).

In 1987, Bolzano had also responsively joined a project aimed at supporting the newly born Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester, becoming the orchestra’s “residence city” and taking on many of the high costs due to rehearsals, conductor, teachers and musicians during the preliminary stages of international tours. The environment, therefore, clearly appeared very promising in the eyes of Abbado, who appreciated the city’s large-scale commitment to culture and so decided that was the right time to implement another of his projects: the Gustav Mahler Academy.
