NEXT SUMMER SESSION:

FROM JULY 31st TO AUGUST 7th, 2021 IN PISTOIA - TUSCANY

​

 

After several editions of our workshop held in Umbria and then in the hills between Siena and Volterra, we go on exploring central Italy... in music! This year we invite you to discover Pistoia, a charming small city of Tuscany, that offers a beautiful and lively historical centre. The Cathedral square, the market square and the shops are all reachable on foot (or by shuttle bus) from the hotel that will host our artistic residence.

​

Equipped with comfortable bedrooms, bright meeting rooms, a large swimming pool and a restaurant with a terrace to have dinner "al fresco", the Villa Cappugi**** hotel will be an ideal place to rehearse for the musicians, and an excellent basis  to explore Tuscany for their relatives. Easily accessible by car or train, Pistoia is located 40km from Florence and Lucca, 60km from the seaside and from Pisa. Florence and Pisa are the closest international airports.

​

The workshop consists of rehearsals every morning and in the late afternoon, while early afternoons are dedicated to rest or relax by the pool. One afternoon in the middle of the week and one full day at the end is left free for excursions.

The workshop usually terminates with two concerts in the area.

​

This year Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony is on the programme and our work will be divided between tutti rehearsals conducted by M° Matthieu Mantanus, and sectional rehearsals supported by our team of professional musicians for the various sections of the orchestra.
