WORKSHOP with Carl Verheyen

In cooperation with Musikhaus Hammerschmidt, the Innsbruck Music School is offering the unique opportunity to experience the legendary world-class guitarist Carl Verheyen - known for his work as a studio musician and with Supertramp - up close in Innsbruck and to ask him questions!

Carl Verheyen (USA) is not only a Grammy-nominated member of the band Supertramp (since 1985) and one of the top 5 session guitarists in Los Angeles, but also a successful singer and songwriter. He has released 17 albums under his own name (Carl Verheyen Band). He also passes on his musical knowledge at the USC (University of Southern California) and the MI (Musicians Institute in Hollywood).

The workshop for electric guitar will take place on Wednesday, October 29, 2025 from 18:00 to 20:30 in the Ursulinensaal.

Participation in the workshop is free! Registration is possible under this link. Further information can be found here:
