Designed by a Musician for Musicians

The Villars Music Academy represents the culmination of my more than 40-year journey as a violinist. This includes over two decades as a first violinist with the Berlin Philharmonic, my tenure as a professor at the Geneva Music University, and my background in psychology. This institution embodies my comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a musician in today’s world.

What I Believe In

A truly great musician performs in a state of complete harmony where the body, mind, and heart are aligned, allowing them to connect with life on a deeper level. It is with this in mind that I designed our program; we aim to nurture both the musician and the person and thus address every facet of becoming an exceptional artist.

Excellence is a universal way of being, rooted in values and beliefs that transcend disciplines. Our mission is to cultivate musicians who not only excel in their craft but also embody the principles of high performance, well-being, mindfulness, authenticity, and artistic integrity.

Why Join Us?

At the Villars Music Academy, we offer a personalised and intimate learning environment that fosters both artistic growth and personal development through close, meaningful relationships.

Our faculty members are exceptional musicians and inspiring individuals who embody our values and philosophy.

Inspire change

I deeply believe in the transformative and societal role of music. At the Villars Music Academy, our goal is to educate musicians who not only achieve artistic excellence but also make meaningful contributions to the greater good.
