Cortona

Come develop your playing!

Learn in a supportive friendly atmosphere and scenic splendor

For more than 25 years cellist Peter Lewy has run workshops dedicated to helping amateur adult cello players improve their skills.  This year he will be offering his highly acclaimed workshop in beautiful Tuscany Italy.  
Each day begins with an hour-long group class for all participants at 9:30 AM.
All participants receive daily lessons with the maestro.  Housing and most activities will take place in a beautifully renovated convent in the spectacular crown jewel of the Tuscany region,  Cortona.  Students will be able to practice and play with others up to 12 hours a day!    A professional pianist is available for exploring the repertoire.   
Other Activities include Master Classes, a Faculty Concert and a performance opportunity for those who wish to improve their performance skills. There is no audition and no minimum skill level, the premise is: “Come as you are to enjoy the study, the work and the beauty of one of the worlds most spectacular regions, Tuscany”.  Absolute beginners with no previous instruction to professionals and everything in between, all are welcome. 
We all learn from each other!
