AlpenKammerMusik has made block reservations at hotels throughout Liesing and will work together with you in being placed in those hotels. For this reason, we ask that you not make separate reservations at these hotels. Payment of hotel fees are handled by you at the end of the festival upon checkout. If you have any questions or preferences regarding hotels in Liesing, please contact us first.

The cost for room and board while attending the festival is NOT included in the 1,100 euros tuition fee. Prices vary for each hotel, ranging from €25-30 per night (breakfast included). Upon acceptance to the festival, we will work with you to place you in a hotel in Liesing. All rooms have a private bath. Please do not make your own reservations, as the festival has already reserved space at all the main hotels. We are happy to try to accommodate any requests you may have regarding housing.

There is an application fee of $50 (35 euros) due with the submission of your application. However, if your application is submitted on or before January 31, 2012 your application fee will be waived.

* if you wish to handle lunch & dinner separately from the festival, please contact us to make separate arrangements.


Breakfast is NOT included in the meal plan. All hotels in Liesing include breakfast as part of their daily rate. For more information on hotels, be sure to read our hotel accommodations page.

Family & Friends

The cost of tuition covers the attending student only. If you would like to bring along family and/or friends, costs are separate from the main tuition. However the festival is family friendly and is happy to work with each student to help accommodate their needs. Please contact the festival if you plan to bring additional people besides yourself, as they can either attend as an additional instrumentalist at the festival or they can attend as an observer.

"It was the highlight of my year! I felt like I learned more the week at AKM about playing chamber music than I have in a long time."
- Felicia Weiss, Washington D.C.

"I can't say enough good things about the coaches that worked with my groups. My expectations were that they would help with ensemble and that I would really enjoy actually playing with them. These expectations were exceeded far beyond what I could have imagined."
