Orchestra hall
The Facilities include a large acoustically designed rehearsal hall and new seminar rooms. The dormitories have 2,3 or 4 beds.
The Academy is very small and situated in a residential area of the village, for this reason the free-time activities will take place in and around Staufen. Please click on this link to see some wonderful photographs of Freiburg and the Black forest.: Foto-Raach
