Our alumni community boasts over 1,650 graduates who continue to excel in the music industry as soloists, conductors, and members of prestigious orchestras worldwide.
Candidates to the Mastercourse are talented string students aged 16-26, after submitting their application and a successful audition.
Keshet Eilon may consider accepting musicians under the age of 16 in exceptional cases only after meeting all registration terms, including an audition. If a candidate under 16 is accepted, they must be accompanied for the entire course by a guardian (parent/family member).
All participants must attend the Mastercourse in full.
