Hvide Sande Masterclass 2025 offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in classical music through 11 public concerts and daily masterclass sessions. The concerts will feature this year’s distinguished professors: Marianna Shirinyan, Jiyoon Lee, Andrej Bielow, Lars Anders Tomter, and Mathias Beyer-Karlshøj, alongside exceptional young talents.
The young musicians are carefully selected through an application process where the professors handpick the most promising classical talents from both Denmark and abroad.
The masterclass emphasizes both chamber music collaboration and solo performances.
Professors provide solo lessons, join chamber ensembles with the participants, coach established groups, and perform in the concerts.
This dynamic interaction inspires the young musicians towards continuous personal and artistic growth.
This Year’s Theme – Carl Nielsen
This special concert focuses on Carl Nielsen’s music, including both famous and lesser-known works, highlighting the richness of Danish music. This is both to let you concertgoers experience the beauty of the Danish musical treasure, but also to teach the young talents from all over the world what Danish music has to offer. That’s why Carl Nielsen’s music will be heard at several of this year’s 11 concerts, and especially at this Carl Nielsen Concert. The concert will tell the story of Carl Nielsen’s life, his challenges and victories, from childhood to his death.
Peace concert at Flugt, Refugee Museum
The world has become an unsafe place in recent years and many people are currently on the run. Music is a peacebuilding element that unites people and therefore we are organizing a special peace concert at FLUGT Museum. FLUGT Museum, located in Oksbøl, tells the story of the millions of people who are and have been forced to leave their homes. Their story becomes even more concrete and relevant through music, where the audience witnesses how art and history can be united to promote understanding and peace. This year’s Ukrainian professor plays an important role and shares music from Ukraine.
“It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to Hvide Sande Masterclass 2025. To you, the aspiring young musicians who have poured your heart and soul into mastering challenging repertoire. Dinner, dear professor, who comes with your many years of experience, countless concerts and hours with your instrument, and you, who comes to experience music in full bloom in a completely different concert hall. I hope you will have a life-giving musical experience that you can look forward to (re)experiencing and then look back on with pleasure.”
