FROM OUR FACULTY
Highlights
“For any musician, it is a main thing to be able to transmit the experience to young generations, and that they can also put everything they have learned into practice. It places this Masterclass and Festival in one of the best platforms worldwide. It is an honor and luxury to be here. “
ENRICO PACE
“What has fascinated me most about this course in Granada is the musical atmosphere there is. At all times there is talk of music, the students are always in groups experimenting, listening, learning … Granada is a very special place because of this. An unusual but magical environment when you live it. “
FERNANDO ARIAS
“Every musician needs to play. Here we can work in class, experiment in the” laboratory “and then put it into practice. This is something fundamental in the development of a musician, and it is incredible that we have first-class concert halls to demonstrate everything that has been learned in front of an audience. “
JORDÁN TEJEDOR
