VICENZA IN LIRICA

First International Master Class of Opera singing and Chamber singing

Concetto Armonico cultural association organizes in July 2013 an important international project called Vicenza in Lirica consisting of three weeks of music training and other various cultural activities which engage famous teachers in the world of Opera, singing students from different countries, critics and artists.
The project can be realized thanks to Gallerie d’Italia – Palazzo Leoni Montanari that grant the use of the Palazzo rooms for the event. The project is realized under the patronage of the Veneto Region and the Town Hall of Vicenza.
Vicenza in Lirica includes various activities such as the three master classes of opera and chamber singing; concerts in historical Churches and Palazzi of Vicenza; presentations of books and discussions on music. During the three weeks, guest artists will give their contribution to the event.
The three Master Classes will take place during the month of July on the following dates:

  • Master Class with tenor Fabio Armiliato from 9th to 13th July
  • Master Class with basso Roberto Scandiuzzi from 16th to 20th July
  • Master Class with piano Professor Norman Shetler on Vocal Chamber music from 23rd to 27th July 2013.

The Master Classes are intended for students who wish to perfect their vocal and interpretative abilities focusing on the choice of their repertoire.
The association’s aim is to offer students opportunities to perform in concerts where they can be heard by agents, artistic directors or musical institutions. Experiences in front of a public, confrontation with other singers and advanced studies offered by a Master Class with a well-known teacher are basic elements for a professional development of any artist.
