Teacher

"I am teaching musicians who are searching. Searching for truth. For their musical language. Searching for their personality. For their own frequency. Together, we take on the journey to the place where their music begins.

Young Musicians

can best develop their talent in a safe space. However, part of their training and the preservation of their talent also involves preparing them for their profession and the practical aspects of their musical careers.

„My students gain valuable insights from me into the career path and stages of a successful artist. My journey is meant to inspire them with courage; my knowledge belongs to them.“

Among Rudens Turku's former students are musicians who now perform around the world as internationally recognized solo artists, concertmasters, as permanent orchestra members, in academy positions, or as educators who have found their place in the music world.

The masterclasses in Seefeld and Starnberg, part of the Internationale Musiktage, are twice a year a magnet for talented young musicians from around the world. In spring and summer, international students gather for several days of intensive musical work. Under the guidance of renowned musicians like Wen-Sinn Yang, Milana Chernyavska, Susanne Sigg, Malte Refardt, Beatriz Blanco, Kai Frömbgen, Roland Glassl, Sibylle Mahni, Stephanie Winker, Johannes Gmeinder, and Rudens Turku, the students deepen their technical skills and work on their artistic expression.

The highlights of the masterclasses are the public final concerts, where young musicians showcase their abilities in front of a broad audience. These live performances are not only an opportunity for the students to gain stage experience – they also attract thousands of music enthusiasts from around the world each year, who appreciate the exceptional atmosphere and quality of the performances..
