Get Ready for a tailored experience based to your specific needs and goals!

At our summer school, we recognize that every student is unique, with their own strengths and areas for improvement. That's why we prioritize a personalized approach that focuses on helping you improve your study method, technique, interpretation, and expressiveness.

To achieve these goals, it's essential that we get to know you before your departure. This initial contact allows us to gain insight into your skills and attitudes, so that we can create an intensive study program that perfectly suits your individual needs. During the interview process, you will be asked about your background, repertoire, and may even ask you to perform a piece.

Don't worry - the interview is not intended for evaluation purposes, but rather to help us better prepare for your arrival at the summer school. This personalized approach ensures that you will receive the support and guidance you need to achieve your full potential.

 LOCATION

Music School of Voghenza and Head Office of Philharmonic Band of Voghenza

Via Europa no. 8 (Voghenza, province of FERRARA)

The history of the Philharmonic Band of Voghenza began in 1856, thanks to the tenacity and passion of Maestro Onorato Gandolfi, who decided to give music as a gift to our community, to accompany solemn moments and give everyone the opportunity to feel part of a band ensemble. Onorato Gandolfi's greatest desire was to support and cultivate vocations and talents, if we are here to make music, if our young people accompany us on this adventure, it is thanks to him.

The culmination of our summer school experience is a truly unforgettable moment - the Final Concert! Held on the last day of the program in the stunning Sala delle Bifore In Belriguardo (the Este delight), this is your chance to showcase everything you've learned and express yourself in front of a live audience.

Throughout the week, we'll simulate the dynamics of a real live performance setup - from group rehearsals to sound checks and equipment usage - all under the expert guidance of our sound engineers and teachers. This hands-on training will prepare you for an authentic stage experience that will be both thrilling and rewarding.

The concert is open to the public, offering you the opportunity to share your progress and newfound skills with others. The rush of emotions you'll experience on stage will be unlike anything else, and will greatly enrich your artistic journey. Join us for an incredible week of learning, growth, and self-expression - culminating in a Final Concert you'll never forget!
