Performance Academy

---

Performance Academy is an intensive program for serious instrumentalists on the Art of Performing, and is designed to offer opportunities for young performers to develop the diversity of skills necessary for a 21st century performing career.  Special focus will be given to the formation of performers’ interpretation of a piece of music using tools such as historical awareness, attention to style, investigation of harmony and structure, and communication to an audience. There will be numerous performing opportunities for all participants. The main repertoire for this course will be chamber music, but participants will also have a chance to perform solo repertoire in masterclass settings and will perform side by side with faculty.

Program will include:
- Daily chamber music coaching
- Masterclasses and private lessons for solo repertoire
- Technique classes
- Seminars in baroque performance practice
- Seminars on interactive performance with electronics
- Sight-reading parties and improvisational jam sessions
- Training and preparation for outreach programs for the local Cappadocia community
