ODEIN SCHOOL OF MUSIC — ORGAN WEEK

In 2016, the annual SAKOV meeting & bursary competition will collaborate with the OSM to present a joint initiative with the activities of the Liesbeth Schlumberger Organ Chair.

The Liesbeth Schlumberger Organ Chair was founded in 2015 by the Odeion School of Music, UFS (OSM) and is positioned under the auspices of the OSM International Artistic Mentorship Programme (IAMP). 

The main objective of the IAMP is the establishment of partnerships with musicians (soloists, chamber musicians and pedagogues) who enjoy established international careers. On par with international tendencies the aim is to deploy these experts as instructors, coaches and mentors OSM students; this compliments the work of complimentary to the residential OSM performance faculty.

The main event of the Chair is an annual two-week intensive tuition programme given by Liesbeth Schlumberger that aims to mentor and tutor South African organ students and organists. A long-term aim is that talented OSM organ students will have the opportunity to study for a semester or more under Ms Schlumberger in France.
