Mountain Academy

Zukunftsmusik inspired in Zermatt

THE FIRT ACADEMY EDITION.

2021 Zermatt Unplugged is offering six Swiss singer-songwriters for the first time an exclusive, creative, and interactive academy program. The aim of this initiative is to support and advance participants in their work and on their path forward. Getting in the music business is a major hurdle for many young musicians. In addition to skill, it takes a lot of energy, perseverance, and a little luck. Even time and space – both of which are often rarely available in everyday life. The Mountain Academy should be precisely the place where space and time are made available.

The program.

Are you ready to be inspired? Are you ready to create? Challenge your status quo!

Four days of intensive and interdisciplinary work, creation, and making music: The Academy participants deal with their own work in a creative and interactive way. They receive suggestions for their musical path from Academy coaches and experts: knowledge transfer, networking, entertainment, and performance are on the program.

Studio sessions.

At various studio sessions, the Academy Experts give feedback on specific topics and areas of focus. They offer time and space for exchange, discussion, and discourse.

Creative sessions.

The Academy Coaches provide the young talents with professional support in their vocal, musical, and personal development. They offer time and space for the exchange of knowledge and experience, and for making and creating music together.

Live sessions.

During the Summer Weekends Festival, the participants will get their well-deserved spotlight on the singer-songwriter stages, which offer time and space for performance.
