}}The Music Academy of the West is a summer music conservatory located in Montecito, California, United States, near Santa Barbara. Participation is merit-based and tuition free.

The academy hosts an annual eight-week summer music festival for the community, highlighted by concerts and workshops directed by famous composers, conductors, and artists. The festival hosts 140 pre-professional musicians who receive merit-based full scholarships. Programs of study include Vocal Piano, Voice, Collaborative Piano, Solo Piano, and Instrumental.[1]

History

The Music Academy of the West was founded in 1947 by Southern California arts patrons and musicians, including soprano Lotte Lehmann, conductor Otto Klemperer and composer Arnold Schoenberg.[2][3] Among the first scholarschip funders where singer-actors Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, violinist Jascha Heifetz and movie producer Daryl F. Zanuck.[3]

From 1954 to 1980 the academy's music director was Maurice Abravanel.[4] Martial Singher was head of the Voice Department from 1962 till 1981. From 1997 till 2018 the vocal program was directed by Marilyn Horne.[5][6]

Since 2010, the academy has held the annual Marilyn Horne Song Competition; until then, it had been known as the Marilyn Horne Foundation Vocal Competition.

In 2014, the Music Academy of the West began an educational partnership with the New York Philharmonic.

Since 2017 the academy is solely using Steinway pianos.[3]
