With daily coachings, reflection, and mentorship, we nurture each artist—tackling vocal challenges, building confidence, and celebrating individual growth—together. This program is tailor-made for each musician, working alongside others on body awareness, repertoire, technique, and performance. On a daily basis, each musician has lessons, coachings and participation in the masterclasses. The resul
ts of this work is show-cased in performances over the course of the two weeks. Making music at the convent in the Italian Alps, surrounded by the Italian language, inspires each artist to push themselves beyond what they think they are capable of and, with the guidance of their coaches, the artists grow tremendously in this short period of time. On top of their training, the students will receive regular Italian language class, body awareness group classes and the chance to take in the sights of Verona and an opera at the ancient amphitheatre. FLUTE: This program will focus not only on the art of flute playing, but also on developing the qualities of a well-rounded artist. In addition to daily lessons and masterclasses, Lara Deutsch will share her experiences working with an Olympic mental coach and lead discussions about optimal performance and the importance of mental skills training. Participants will be encouraged to step out of their musical comfort zones and to find new ways to connect with audiences, as well as to perform for the Italian public, if desired. This retreat will provide the perfect opportunity to reflect, set goals, and discover what success as an artist means to you. COMPOSITION: Join a group of peer artists (composers, music producers, writers, choreographers and musicians) and explore the depths of your imagination with Margaret Maria guiding you. Her unique approach will help you find your unique signature, or expand your concept of it. Wherever you are on your journey as a musician or creator, regardless of genre or arts discipline, this retreat will unlock the true artist within. Participate in a groundbreaking process that taps into your authentic creativity and expands your horizons. Unearth ideas and sounds of all kinds on 'inspiration walks' throughout Breno, gallery tours, and other unique excursions. The group will refine their skills and work together towards a mutual goal: spontaneous creation.
