## History[edit]

Schlosstheater Rheinsberg

Rheinsberg Music Academy is a facility for young performers on the grounds of Schloss Rheinsberg,[1] co-founded by the musicologist Ulrike Liedtke in 1991. In 2001, it became a national academy (Bundesakademie), which has been run from 2014 by Musikkultur Rheinsberg, supported by the Ministry of Culture of Brandenburg (Ministerium für Bildung, Jugend und Sport (Brandenburg) [de]), the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district and the town of Rheinsberg.[2] As of 2020, the artistic director is Georg Quander and the director is Felix Görg; the CEO of Musikkultur Rheinsberg is Thomas Falk.[3]

As an educational institution, the academy conducts workshops, master classes, and scientific seminars (Kolloquien) related to music.[2][4] In 2019/20, master classes were given by singer Waltraud Meier, stage director Harry Kupfer and conductor René Jacobs, among others.[3] A focus is the performance of works by young composers and composers who were neglected during the GDR regime.[5] Some compositions were commissioned by the academy to be premiered in Rheinsberg.[6] Annually, around 40 courses[3] and 130 events are held, attracting 17,000 visitors.[1]

The Kavalierhaus, which had deteriorated, was restored after the Wende and reopened in 1999 as the seat of the institution. The main hall is a simple modern room within the historic walls.[1] Events of the academy and the opera festival Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg are held there and at the Schlosstheater. Both institutions reside in the Kavalierhaus.[1]
