About the event
The Opus One Summer Music Festival 2026 unfolds across London and Paris, offering participants a carefully curated musical journey that combines intensive study, high-level performance, and cultural immersion. The festival opens in London with registration, a welcoming meet-and-greet, and an opening concert at St Mary le Strand Church, setting the artistic tone for the days ahead.
In London, students will take part in full-day masterclasses led by distinguished professors, including Julian Jacobson (piano), Marc Djokic (violin) and Kirsten Jenson (cello), alongside duo and small-ensemble rehearsals that encourage collaborative music-making. As the week progresses, participants refine their repertoire through focused rehearsal and performance preparation, leading to a competition and concert at the Royal Academy of Music’s Duke’s Hall, followed by a celebratory reception. Some participants will conclude their programme in London at this stage.
