Tailor made Chamber Music course "Sacred and spiritual music of the Baroque"

Amateur musicians who participate at this chamber music course did ask us to offer them a proposal for a course. Coming from The Netherlands, United States and Italy, they join in the creative ceramics-town of Deruta, in the center of Italy. We organised three concerts for them in the most beautiful historical venues: a frescoed hall in Perugia, a "jewel-case" of a church in Todi and in a baroque palace in Acquasparta.

But not before having had an extensive coaching in baroque chamber music, some nice dinners together on picturesque terraces and lively exchanges of experiences. These musicians are hosted in our "residence" Casa "Le tre Muse", close to Perugia ans Assisi.

The music on the programme is closely related to the (sacred) baroque-architecture in which the singers and players exhibit themselves. The public will listen to "Musica sacra e spirituale del barocco" presented as “Musica per il vescovo”.
