Music & dance

In 2020 was the tenth time that Accademia Amsterdam organised summer courses in Perugia for music and art lovers. Despite the corona-crisis we celebrated our anniversary with a small group of enthusiast participants. This extraordinary experience and the support of the local authorities encourage us to invite you to celebrate the Muses in Italy. This time we take the Italian arts itself as starting point of inspiration. Additionally, we organise again an extra performance on Sunday 25 July in one of the most beautiful “borghi” of Italy: Deruta.

These courses concentrate on the enjoyment of ensemble music. Everybody can participate at his own level. Whether you take part in the vocal ensemble, as a soloist, as a dancer or as an instrumentalist, we will find you a suited way to join. Our skilled tutors offer master classes for soloists, advanced baroque dancers and instrumentalists. (Choir) singers can follow additional workshops to improve their singing technique. As a surprise, a local choir might join the vocal ensemble during the performances with some original Italian repertoire.

The music and dance tutors of Accademia Amsterdam present you an enticing opening concert with Italian chamber music. The music and dance courses are held in the medieval centre of Perugia or in the town of majolica ceramics: Deruta. The performances will take place in one of the most beautiful halls of the monumental city and on historic locations.

Duration of the course: 5 days, plus extra second performance.
