WELCOME

Dear friends of music,

 

After the great success of the “1st International Music Week Montepulciano 2010” I am pleased about the “2nd International Music Week Montepulciano” taking place from 24th April to 3rd May 2011 one more time in the “Palazzo Ricci”.

 

The “International Music Week Montepulciano” is a meeting place for upcoming young talents from around the world. These will extend their cultural horizon through the artistic work with internationally recognized musicians and deepen their musical experience to support the acceptance on the way to a successful career. The IMM is a course that has been prescribed to promote and inspire young gifted artists.

 

I am glad that prominent teachers have also agreed for 2011 to be part of  the music week and to share their experiences. In addition to the lessons a special workshop will be headed by Kirstin Guttenberg: “training / performance coaching / stage fright”. The participants are here once separated apart from their music lessons with this important issue.

 

The course week in Tuscany consists of individual private lessons, chamber music lessons, workshops in groups (including improvisation) up to the public concerts of the students and the teachers.

The gala concert of the “International music week Montepulciano” is taking place on 24th November 2011 in the Zurich Church of St. Peter.

 

The course is aimed at advanced young students seeking a musical career and music college students. Content of the lessons are technical information, interpretation of the work, and / or preparation for competitions, exams and auditions. The participants will be musically and personally supported in an atmosphere of intense work.

 

We hope that the "2nd International Music Week" will bring us musical successes and a wonderful working climate, which Montepulciano without any doubt offers and being the reason we enjoy coming here.


In pleasant anticipation for a hopefully memorable music week in 2011,

 





Yours sincerely

Philip A. Draganov
