heart of the Piemonte region, Alessandria is in near proximity to three of Italy’s most exciting
cities, Milan, Torino, and Genova. It is also within traveling distance of the foothills of the Alps,
the sparkling waters of Lake Como, and the beaches of Liguia. In addition to these attractions,
the relaxed setting of Alessandria itself provides an ideal environment for study. The three-week
program includes daily lessons with teachers from the University of Georgia the Conservatory in
Alessandria and international Artist, opportunities to play alongside Italian musicians, and weekly
performances. Frequent excursions to museums, opera houses, and historical sites are also
included in the agenda.Venice:

and Non Music Majors. A highlight of the experience is spending three weeks hosted at the Antonio
Vivaldi quarters just a few blocks from San Marco Square. The program provides an opportunity to
