I’m so Virtuoso

Virtuoso & Belcanto Connected Edition is an unprecedented event within the panorama of international Festivals dedicated to Classical music.

After 4 editions realized in the city of Lucca, this year Virtuoso & Belcanto is moving its whole centre of operations to reach the whole world and maintain its identity and character. Two weeks of advanced courses with professors and students from around the world, including: masterclasses, competitions and the possibility to play as a soloist at the Berlin Philharmonie. The first classical music festival that, entirely online, gives absolute vivacity and intensity to music.

Connected, much more than online

The network is the medium with which the students and professors create that unique connection, the experience of listening to and meeting great maestros face to face, without distance. Individual lessons, moments of sharing and conversation, the possibility to liberate creative potential and pursue excellence.

Become part of history

From 2016, Virtuoso & Belcanto has held advanced courses with internationally renown maestros who direct the masterclasses, divided by instrument. The competitions, reserved for active students, will have concerts and cash prizes in store for the chamber music winners, and the possibility to play in the 2021-2022 Populäre Konzerte season of the Berlin Philharmonie. The winner will perform as a soloist, accompanied by the Deutsches-Symphonie Orchester Berlin.

Virtuoso & Belcanto

The Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival and Summer Academy is a celebration of the history and musical heritage of the city of Lucca. Famous composers such as Puccini, Boccherini, and Geminiani along with many others, were born within its walls. Lucca and its theater also happen to be where Paganini became Paganini. The Festival seeks to revitalise this unique musical heritage by creating an opportunity for young musicians from all over the world to come together with prominent international artists and teachers. It will be an intensive two weeks of lessons, masterclasses, chamber music coaching, and concerts, focused primarily on repertoire from the classic and early romantic periods. In honor of Luigi Boccherini, the Festival will be dedicated above all, to chamber music, and will be experienced from three different but related perspectives: concerts, study, and competitions.
