ABOUT THE CORFU DEEP STRINGS SUMMER ACADEMY
2012 was a jubilee year for the Department of Music Studies of the Ionian University. The past year, we celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the Department and at the same time the first decade of successful existence of the Summer Music Academy.
In these ten years of existence, the Summer Music Academy has had the pleasure and honour to host a great number of distinguished professors and notable participants from around the world. This is an achievement for the entire academic community of the Music Department of the Ionian University, which makes us extremely proud.
At the beginning of the second decade of the Summer Music Academy we decided to go one step further.
We created a separate section which will address to deep string instruments (cello, double bass, viola da Gamba) aiming apart from instrument lessons, to offer participants a series of lectures and workshops that focus on technical and performance matters that are common for all deep string instruments.
Daring even further, it is our ambition to introduce workshops and lectures that aim at developing Survival Skills, which are considered as some of the most essential supplies for the 21st century’s musician.
Our vision is to convert our summer courses in a Life Long Learning School that innovates and stays close to the evolving needs of musician’s training.
Kind regards,
