Since 2011, our Virtuosi Summer Music Institute and Festival has delighted audiences with performances of chamber music works and operas.

The Virtuosi Summer Music Institute and Festival address the need for intensive music education for talented and motivated students, that is affordable yet rigorous, comprehensive, and provided by world-class instructors. It also exposes the students and the wider community to a series of diverse and inspiring performances including chamber orchestra, voice, and chamber music. After a year when live musical performance was limited or non-existent, and when funding for musical education at public schools is limited, it is even more important that students reconnect with the beauty and focus offered by music education and performance. The program is open to students who demonstrate a command of their instrument and are able to perform in a variety of musical settings.

Our commitment to high-standard concerts is as strong as ever. The Institute’s program will include chamber music coaching, chamber orchestra, music theory classes, history of composers from guest lecturers, and many public performances. Our outstanding, internationally acclaimed, and very dedicated instructors are interacting closely with students – teaching, socializing, and sharing their performance experiences. This inspirational and indispensable relationship gives our students a great boost of self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
