"The Promenois internship is a work bubble, but also a setting where I met great people with whom I shared a memorable week. I found the perfect energy there to move forward in my work and was able to take advantage of idyllic conditions to recharge my batteries and take time to nourish my mind and my passions."

"Promenois is a dream. A kind of enchanted castle. Full of people of extraordinary human and artistic quality. It will always remain engraved in my memory as a place that invites you to renew everything, to question, to dig deep and to rise above, towards things that sparkle and nourish the soul. Thank you!"

"Stage de Musique Promenois is one of the most holistic experiences a musician can have.
​
In times where status, productivity and financial success are the standard of an ever faster running society, there seems to be barely any space for introspection, meditation or just slowing down your daily routine.
​
Besides the time wasting, addictive algorhythms of TikTok and Instagram, musicians in particular are now also facing the challenge of dealing with an endless social media timeline full of other musicians who are much more 'successful'. This not only influences your self-esteem but also ignores the fact that every musician will have their own path of development.
​
Stage de Musique Promenois will help you in finding your own musical perspective by slowing down and disconnecting from the hectic rollercoaster of your daily life. Your mind and body are invited to relax and reset in a more balanced order. At Château de Promenois, music, human life and nature are one organic unity; the surroundings of the Château, the people and even the animals on the grounds merge into one community.
This nourishing environment, in combination with teachers of the highest level, will serve as a basis for a fruitful week filled with musical discoveries and human development. Besides your instrumental lessons, there are group meetings discussing and working on musical topics in exchange with the teachers. In addition to that, Qi-gong sessions, sight-reading and physical activities like swimming will further enhance the connection with other musicians at Promenois.
​
This constant exchange on every level will create a new perspective on certain topics and might trigger questions regarding your own path of development. Stage de Musique Promenois might not give you all the answers but it does allow for a greater awareness and serves as a catalysts for a more holistic treatment of your (musical) life."​
