Our beautiful campus is nestled in the Bavarian Alps in the picturesque village of Kiefersfelden. The southern German mountains provide an atmosphere of beauty, personal reflection and clarity, all vital to nurturing your inner artist and professional growth. Our IPAI Bavaria artists enjoy exceptional accommodations including a fully catered Bavarian breakfast and daily lunch at the Hotel zur Post, located in the heart of the village. The welcoming demeanor and hospitality of our German hosts are second to none!

Message From our Director

Michael Bunchman, Director

IPAI Bavaria Opera, Musical Theatre and Collaborative Piano programs serve the mission to nurture the needs of developing young artists. Our student centric vision and planning makes IPAI Bavaria unique among other summer music programs. We truly strive to meet each of our artists where they are and escort them to the next level of development on their artistic journey.

 

In addition to traditional musical coaching, teaching, and performance opportunities, our faculty of genuinely caring international artists, industry professionals, teachers, and coaches are committed to reaching young artists in a personal and meaningful way. We look at the total artist and offer specific mentorship such as helping young performers identify and embrace their unique artistic passion; connecting emerging artists with audition opportunities as well as networks that help them to forge their own paths in an ever-evolving industry; offering objective, honest, and encouraging career advice, guidance, or counseling.  

 

IPAI Bavaria is a gateway of discovery at every level of development.  Students of our program leave with a renewed sense of purpose and the tools to continue their total artistic development beyond IPAI. Our  IPAI Germany artists experience great success and personal growth as they continue to thrive in theaters, graduate programs, and young artist programs in the U.S. and Europe. 

 

We look forward to welcoming you to beautiful Bavaria this summer and into the IPAI Artist Family!

 

Sincerely, 

​
