Program Overview
Music Innovation: Voice & Orchestra
This music summer program in Venice runs for two weeks and is designed for students aged 15 to 18. Designed for young singers and musicians ready to grow as performers and creators. Set in Veneto, a short trip from Venice and the Verona Arena, this two-week summer school pairs daily voice and orchestra labs with a forward-looking curriculum in music, AI, neuroscience and branding. Students rehearse, record their own track in a professional studio, and take to the stage in a live final concert. Labs are led by Maestro Diego Basso, founder of Art Voice Academy, who has conducted for artists including Andrea Bocelli, Il Volo, Brian May (Queen), David Garrett, Luis Fonsi and Eurovision winners Marco Mengoni and Francesco Gabbani.
The program takes place in Castelfranco Veneto, a historic town in the heart of the Veneto, one of Italy’s richest musical and cultural regions, within reach of Venice and the legendary Verona Arena. Students train at a dedicated music academy, Art Voice Academy, surrounded by the landscapes and traditions that have inspired centuries of Italian music, while experiencing the artistic life of the region first-hand.
