The American Bach Soloists ACADEMY was founded in 2010 with the purpose of providing mentorship and artistic support to those musicians who are seeking to bridge the gap between advanced conservatory, university, or personal studies and an emerging career, either as soloists, chamber musicians, or with professional early music institutions.
Since the ACADEMY's inaugural year, more than 500 participants have been admitted from around the world, representing Australia, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Costa Rica, England, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Republic of Singapore, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, the United States, and Venezuela.
Drawing on their distinguished roster of performers — named “the best American specialists in early music” by The Washington Post — the American Bach Soloists ACADEMY offers advanced conservatory-level students and young professionals unique opportunities to study and perform baroque music in a multi-disciplinary learning environment.
In addition to in-depth coachings and technical studies with masters of their particular instruments, all Academy participants will participate in Academy-wide Master Classes and Lectures. Each participant will present a solo or chamber work on the Academy Showcase program, and all participants will perform side-by-side with faculty and American Bach Artists-in-Residence in the Finale concert.
The ACADEMY is held in the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s exquisite facilities in the heart of the city’s arts district. Jeffrey Thomas (artistic director of the American Bach Soloists) and Corey Jamason (principal keyboardist for American Bach Soloists and director of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s program in Early Music) are co-directors of the ACADEMY.
Located two blocks from Davies Symphony Hall (home of the San Francisco Symphony) and the War Memorial Opera House (home of the San Francisco Opera and San Francisco Ballet companies), the Conservatory offers state-of-the-art performance halls, classrooms, practice rooms, and teaching studios. Accommodations are provided in the Conservatory's dormitory housing.
