Presentation
WELCOME to this International Early Music Course and Festival “Semitonía” in Cuenca, which will take place from the 9th to the 13th of July.
We present this Course together with the International Early Music Festival in Cuenca, which gives the teaching activity of the Course the possibility of continuing the work in the classrooms with concerts in different venues of the city of Cuenca, a World Heritage Site, thus becoming extensions of the classes themselves.
The course is given by a group of teachers of enormous prestige all over the world, who work in first class international teaching spaces. They are professionals who develop their careers combining their teaching work with the most important stages and festivals in the world.
Together with them, the Academy of Camerata Ars Summa will carry out the work of teaching coordination, as well as hosting for all active students or listeners, and for the public attending the concerts of the Festival.
We are waiting for you with open arms to continue making available all our resources, both musical and human, for the celebration of this exceptional event in which artistic education, high-level musical performance and cultural tourism are combined in a World Heritage City.
