The classes for the Organ school, meanwhile, will be led by Hannfried Lucke (Germany/Austria), while students of the Hammerklavier will be taught by Wolfgang Brunner (Austria).

In addition, these maestros will also be joined by Special Guest Professor Arie Vardi (Israel), who shall be delivering a one-off workshop and open masterclass on the 7th of April.
