Location for the Lieder Academy announced!
Finally we can reveal to you our main venue for classes and workshops. The new National Trainingscentrum voor Muziek, Dans en Theater in Ede-Wageningen just 24 minutes by train from Utrecht.
Offering amazing facilities and set in beautiful countryside, it is the perfect place for peaceful and intensive study. We will be organising classes and more in other locations, but we have chosen this to be our central study point and it promises to be a very important venue for Dutch music life.

David Wilson-Johnson gives his support for The Lieder Academy
World famous Baritone David Wilson-Johnson has endorsed the Lieder Academy with this comment; ” Finally, a centre for the study of Lieder in North Europe, this wonderful project deserves the full support of all people who love this wonderful music. I support it unreservedly and look forward to participating in the future.”
New location for The Lieder Academy has been found.
The new location of the Lieder Academy Masterclasses has been found. Currently under renovation it is nearly ready to be revealed to the public! After months of hard work and planning we’re anticipating sharing our first classes with you!
‘The study and performance of Lieder is an intimate experience, requiring peaceful, quiet surroundings. I never feel comfortable witnessing the ‘showcase’ classes in vast halls, where the beauty of the music seems to somehow get lost. This location we have found is set in beautiful countryside, you can choose to stay overnight, you can immerse yourself in this wonderful music without distractions for the entire weekend. This promises to be the start of something very special and I hope you will be able to join us.’ (Kelvin Grout)
