MUSICA E ARTE IN UMBRIA 2015 Reinassance Lute Course in Spello May 11-16

10/03/2015 in Liuto, Soggiorni di studio

(ph. Massimo Denaro)

Lute music and iconography in paintings of the Italian Renaissance is the focus of an intimate one-week course in the beautiful hilltop town of Spello, near Assisi, at the Centro Studi Europeo musica medievale Adolfo Broegg. Daily private lute lessons (all levels welcome), guided trips to study music iconography in Assisi, Perugia and Monte Oliveto (Siena), and a recital by Crawford Young, are offered within the setting of a virtual paradise of medieval and Renaissance art, Italian cuisine and Umbrian landscape. Ensembles are also welcome for coaching of 16th – 15th – 14th c. repertoire.

PLUS, as an option for those who wish to arrive two-to-three three days early: experience the magic of the world- renowned Kalendimaggio festival of Assisi celebrating the local medieval heritage in an unforgettable three-day competition of historical music drama and pageant.
