The Courses
The masterclasses are aimed at young pianists and chamber groups, graduates or students, wishing to deepen their knowledge of solo or chamber repertoire from an instrumental, interpretative, aesthetic, and concert perspective. During the course, it will be possible to dedicate time to personal study and to interaction with other musicians (both from a purely musical and a human point of view), to achieve a fruitful exchange of experiences and knowledge. Students will also be invited to listen to the lessons of other participants, in order to create a cordial atmosphere, to learn different perspectives, and to familiarize themselves with a wide spectrum of piano and chamber repertoire.
The teacher is also available to share her cultural/musicological and concert experience, as well as her international training, to help participants develop their own musical personality, and potentially establish a relationship of comparison and exchange that continues beyond the time limits of the course.
