General Information

Many students from all over the world get the opportunity to play with an orchestra as well as participate in lessons, master classes, play in marathon recitals and in chamber music events and partake in an opera production. The concerts take place in places such as Basilica di San Pietro, Palazzo dei Priori, Teatro Pavone most of them famous for its extraordinary acoustics.[1]


"One of the things that makes it special is that it’s a very rare thing for a young performer to play a concerto with an orchestra. That was the main idea of the festival – get an orchestra, get students to play"
