European Chamber Music Academy

The European Chamber Music Academy (ECMA) was founded in 2004 on the initiative of Hatto Beyerle. Four conservatories and two music festivals, led by the Hochschule fur Musik und Theater Hannover, came together as founding members:

  • the Fondazione Scuola di Musica di Fiesole (Italy),
  • the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover (Germany),
  • the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Vienna (Austria),
  • the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Zurich (Switzerland),
  • the Pablo Casals Festival in Prades (France)
  • the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival (Finland).

The ECMA students are young, professionally oriented string quartets and piano trios aiming to embark on a career as chamber musicians. The ECMA exists specifically to promote these careers through theoretical and practical tuition, as well as through concrete job preparation (marketing, coaching etc.).

Tutors of note
gollark: Also, some things actually need and can use overly large integers now even if they're not being used for memory addresses, which would be silly.
gollark: As far as I'm aware, quantum stuff can mostly just accelerate specific algorithms and will be relegated to expensive coprocessors like GPUs.
gollark: Why not just get ahead of the problems and use 128-bit ints?
gollark: When using sane non-JS stuff I try to use 64-bit timestamps so they'll be valid for 584 million years.
gollark: They'll probably begin to break a bit beforehand, due to inaccurate clocks and computing timestamps a bit in the future for various purposes.
