The cultural association CONCETTO ARMONICO has organized an International Master Class for opera singers at the wonderful Dal Moro Gallery Hotel in Santa Maria degli Angeli Assisi. The Master Class will be held by world famous Maestro Sherman Lowe and it is open to students who want to refine their vocal studies focusing on the choice of a repertoire. Concetto Armonico wants to help willing and deserving students find their way in the world of Opera singing. The association s aim is to offer students opportunities to perform in concerts where they can be heard by agents, artistic directors or musical institutions. Experiences in front of a public, confrontation with other singers and advanced studies offered by a Master Class with a well-known teacher are basic elements for a professional development of any artist. Concetto Armonico wishes to merge different elements in this Master Class: the charm of the Umbrian landscape and the peace of Assisi; the confort and welcoming atmosphere of a luxury hotel which has offered special rates for the students; evening lessons (one and a half hours each) on famous personalities related to the history of music. During the Master Class students will be accompanied on the piano by Maestro Daniela Cenedese. MEET THE AUTHOR Concetto Armonico has organized, besides the Master Class, two important events which will take place at 9.00 p.m. at the Dal Moro Gallery Hotel and which are meant as a cultural opportunity not only for the students, but for a wider audience.
