Free Online Crescendo Summer Institute Starts July 22nd

Crescendo is a Christian movement of and with professional musicians and music students – and other artists. Founded in 1985, Crescendo operates worldwide. The international office is in Basel, Switzerland. Crescendo is part of the Swiss interdenominational movement (and association) Campus für Christus / Agape Europe / Cru. They cooperate with cultural institutions and all Christian churches.

You’re invited to follow Crescendo for the next two weeks online (July 22 to August 2). Since 2015, they’ve held a Crescendo Summer Institute (CSI) in Hungary, but had to cancel it. Instead, they’re offering e-CSI 2020, posting snippets each day to their Facebook page. Why not drop in daily for a “virtual CSI?”

And There’s More

You don’t need to register to follow e-CSI 2020 on Facebook, but register here if you’re interested in:

• listening to inspirational Tune-In broadcasts during the institute July 22 through August 2
• creating a profile for a Christian Musician’s list to network with other artists

Also, follow the Institute on Instagram.

This Institute Is for All Creatives

If you’re creative, you’ll find something to inspire and equip you. Crescendo collected recorded lessons, concert performances, Crescendo-on-the-Streets moments and even a movement workshop. The Tune-In broadcasts take you deeper with inspirational subjects.
