We are very proud to offer a number of sponsored future concert engagements to follow up the course to successful candidates. Please let us know when you arrive to Nafplio if you wish to be considered for this. Each professor will draw up a short list of potential candidates and the decision will be made by the faculty before the last night of the course. It will be based on the following criteria: talent, potential for a concert career, professional attitude and work ethics.

The timetable is carefully organised to give exactly the same teaching and practising time as well as performance opportunities to each student. The students shall experience an intense, but highly supportive atmosphere.

There are plenty of opportunities for relaxation too. It is easy to organise excursions to a number of ancient Greek archaeological sites, such as Mycenae and Tiryns. If you stay for a little longer, a day-trip to Olympia is also a possibility, as are the wineries of Nemea. You can enjoy the cafés on the sea promenade and the Greek cuisine in the town’s typical restaurants. We hope you will have a very enjoyable stay and will consider this a Greek holiday as well as an extremely rewarding experience for your playing.
