Fondazione Accademia di Musica

Recognized among the most renowned institutions of higher education, the ETS Academy of Music Foundation has been operating since 1994 between Pinerolo and Turin. The heart of its training proposal concerns music and every year it involves more than 50 internationally renowned teachers and around 650 students from all over the world, with level III specialization courses in piano and contemporary piano recognized by the Ministry and with courses and masterclasses of high specialization in piano, contemporary piano, violin, viola, cello, orchestral steps, flute, clarinet, chamber music, performance oriented competition, opera singing. These are accompanied by projects such as the Summer camp, the Professione Orchestra on-the-job training in partnership with the RAI National Symphony Orchestra, the Accademia Chamber Orchestra and the numerous collaborations with partners throughout the national territory which host the performances of best students. From 2024, the higher education offering will open up to opera singing thanks to the level III specialization course recognized by the Ministry in partnership with the Luciano Pavarotti Foundation, and to an annual course and masterclass. A lively and renowned concert activity finds its fulcrum in the Pinerolo Season which for 30 years has alternated great soloists of international fame with award-winning young people, and expands its proposal with the summer Musica d'Estate festival and other concerts in the area. There is no shortage of international projects such as the prestigious biennial chamber music competition ICM Competition 'Pinerolo and Turin Metropolitan City', member of the WFIMC (Unesco) and CADMO of the European Digi Orchestra Project. The Academy has always promoted artistic and cultural excellence from an increasingly international perspective.
