Violin and harpsichord masterclass

il 18 e 19 November 2022 two violin and harpsichord master classes will be held in the Franciscan library of Santa Maria di Betlem held by the masters Tommaso Luison and Willem Peerik.

We are happy to be able to host these two musicians with the Galán academy who will also meet the students of the musical high school on the occasion of their concert for the Note senza tempo festival “D.A. Azuni”.  Places for the two masterclasses are limited as the time that can be dedicated to lessons is reduced to just two days.
