"The "Crescendo Summer Institute" was a real revelation and a refreshing experience for me. It isn't everyday that one can say that one went to a music festival and came away refreshed in the Spirit! I enjoyed the small group meetings the most and I know that I'm certainly not alone in saying this, having spoken to a few of my new friends there. I was telling everyone that Crescendo is so refreshingly different from the usual music festival in that the usual "secular" music festival involves shameless name-dropping and posturing for the advancement of one's career while at Crescendo, you can have meaningful conversations with others right from Day 1, conversations in which you are enough just as a human being (in Christ or not, as the case may be!). That is rare. And so precious."

Vom 18.-21, Februar lud Crescendo zur ersten internationalen Musikpadagogen-Konferenz nach Birmingham. Das Thema lautete: "Musikpädagogik - Gabe und Berufung". Helena Maffli, Präsidentin derEMU (European Music School Union) schrieb in einem Grusswort: "Die Crescendo-Konferenz ist eine wunderbare Initiative. Sie geht über die üblichen Lehrer-Treffen hinaus, da sie dazu einlädt, „von der Quelle zu trinken“. Es kamen Teilnehmer aus 10 Ländern. Es gab Vorträge und Berichte u.a. von Carmen Zaharia-Danicov (Rumänien), Tim Baptiste (Birmingham), Letizia Walser (Direktorin einer Musikschule in der Schweiz), Christian Studler (Professor KonservatoriumBern), Verena Dietrich (Paris-Levallois), Eszter Dudas (Budapest), Trang Trinh (Vietnam) und Airi und Beat Rink (Psychologin und Theologe, Leiter Crescendo).
Vom 21-24, Januar 2016 waren leitende Crescendo-Mitarbeiter in Riga an der jährlichen "Staff Conference" zusammen. Sie kamen aus 15 Ländern. Das Thema lautete "Inspirierende Leiterschaft" - und die Vorträge (u.a. von Pastor Edgars Mazis) oder die Berichte aus den verschiedenen Ländern waren in der Tat sehr inspirierend. Andere Programmpunkte waren: Planungs-Zeiten, Treffen mit lettischen Musikern, "Play & Pray"-Workshop, Sightseeing im eisigen Riga und Gemeinschaft.

Ihr "Crescendo Sommerinstitut" ist wirklich etwas Besonderes. In der Atmosphäre einer zauberhaften Landschaft, eines pittoresken Ortes, hat sich über Jahre ein Musikfest entwickelt, das im Wechselspiel von Musik, Lehre, Reflexion und Lebensfreude seinesgleichen sucht. Junge Menschen treffen einander für mehrere Wochen. Schließen Kontakte, arbeiten an ihren musikalischen Talenten, tauschen sich mit erfahrenen Künstlern aus. Die aus aller Welt anreisenden jungen Künstler arbeiten mit erfahrenen Dozenten, erleben gemeinsam hochwertige musikalische Veranstaltungen, suchen und finden aber auch die seelische Balance für ihren Beruf in der Kraft des Glaubens. Es gibt viele Meisterklassen, Sommerkurse, Wettbewerbe, Festivals. Das Crescendo-Institut hat von allem etwas. Die Summe der Einzeldinge ist aber mehr. Denn sie schließt die seelische Reflexion der künstlerischen Arbeit in ein Lern- und Lehrkonzept mit ein, aus dem seine Teilnehmer nicht nur mit neuen Erfahrungen, sondern auch bereichert um das Wissen der Ganzheitlichkeit ihres Berufes als Künstler hervorgehen. Ich wünsche dem "Crescendo Sommerinstitut" noch viele gute und erfolgreiche Jahre.
