VIOLIN MASTERCLASS AROUND THE WORLD

For many years Irene have been active in the world of the music education, working in Italy, Switzerland, Lithuania, India, Brazil, the United States, and Colombia. The goal is to support organizations and reach as many as possible young people through workshops, masterclasses, partnership projects, and school visits providing key moments of inspiration for young instrumentalists, as well as focused, high-quality teaching and guidance. Through these events, we discuss, share and support solutions about the balance between the two main topics in music pedagogy in order to reach the most powerful music-making: the discipline required to master the violin technique, and the fire of passion and freedom of expression. We look into future events with the goal of encouraging collaboration, promoting the sharing of ideas and best practices, and always looking for ways to support people and organizations to deliver high-quality music-making events for the young generation.
