Schedule

A typical day will include three morning coaching sessions and an afternoon rehearsal. On the excursion day, usually Wednesday, (such as a bus tour of Ischia or sightseeing tour of the nearby island of Procida), the schedule is adjusted accordingly. The goal is to be flexible and find as much time for music-making as possible while providing the opportunity to see some of the important cultural sites in the area. We consult with each participant before making the schedule so we can do our best to accommodate each individual's preferences and balance the group.

Everyone enjoys the after-lunch siesta break ("riposo") for time to relax or socialize. Late afternoon hours can also be used for organized sight-reading. There are optional activities including masterclasses, in-house participant recitals, lectures, etc. While there is a scheduled activity each evening, many participants also choose to use evening hours to free-lance.

Three Orchestral readings and a performance is a tradition in our program.

Dinner at the Hotel Grazia Terme is usually at 7:30 p.m. and festival concerts are presented on the Mediterranean schedule at 9 pm. Participants have the option to take the festival bus to performances on selected days
