Dear friends of the Summer Academy for early music,
Thanks to the tireless commitment of our team of the Neuburg cultural office and numerous volunteers and supporters, who found again a practicable and save solution in the second Corona summer, we managed to create an extremely lively and satisfying summer academy in 2021. It was a great event with the main focus on the music of double celebrator Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) and contemporary composers. Once again, a huge thank you to all of you for your efforts to guarantee the academy’s success! For this year’s summer academy, we have again created a rich program which will focus on Georg Philipp Telemann and his “gout mélangé”. On the following pages, our wonderful team of lecturer will be introduced. On 9 August 2022, we will give a common concert in the “Kongregationssaal”. Another highlight of the early music-week will be the final of the Biagio-Marini-competition in the “Kongregationssaal” on 7 August, when young ensembles will present themselves to the jury and audience. It has become a wonderful tradition for our participants to give spontaneous open-air concerts in the evenings and we look forward to continue this tradition. And finally, we look forward to the splendid final concert on 13 August when our participants will present their results after the course week marked by intensive work. With keen anticipation to an intense week with a wide variety of meetings in summery Neuburg, I remain with cordial salutations,
Xenia Löffler

Emma Kirkby’s singing career was unexpected. During her studies of classical philology in Oxford, she took every opportunity to sing, particularly polyphonic works of the renaissance. During a short period of her classical philology lectureship, she was lucky since she met pioneer groups of early music with expressive singing voices and historical lute, wind and string instruments. Nowadays, she can look back on decades of being a successful singer who, due to her unique voice and expressivity of her interpretations, fascinates the audience all around the world. Emma Kirkby is an enthusiastic and inspiring lecturer. Worldwide, she has been invited to numerous master courses and academies where she has been dedicated to promote young musical talents.
