The Haarlem Summer Academy International Masterclass for YoungTalents was launched in 2010, when Olivier Latry (Paris) and Lorenzo Ghielmi (Milaan) each directed three two-hour sessions. Six YoungTalents worked on music by César Franck and Johann Sebastian Bach, on the Müller organ in the Bavokerk and the Cavaillé-Coll instrument in the Philharmonie concert hall. The young organists were encouraged to attend (free of charge) other Academy masterclasses, recitals and lectures.
The second International Masterclass for YoungTalents will take place from 18 to 25 July 2012. It will be directed by Olivier Latry and Margaret Phillips. A maximum of eight young players (aged 13-18) who intend to pursue professional studies will be admitted. They will be informed about admittance by 15 March 2012.
