accademiaperosi

The best way to describe the activities of the Academy is to quote the daily newspaper La Stampa, which defined Perosi as “The school of the masters of music”. In fact, the courses are at a level comparable with post-graduate master degrees, all the students have already obtained their bachelor’s degrees. The academic courses run for three or four years with monthly lessons, whereas master classes run for one or two weeks at a time. Access to courses is via a demanding admissions exam. At the end of the courses students are examined in front of a panel of renowned musicians and academic staff from other European institutions.
The Lorenzo Perosi Post-graduate Academy of Higher Artistic and Musical Education, subsidised by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism (MiBACT), as well as the region of Piedmont, is considered to be among the most important Italian institutions for education in arts.
