Our Masterclasses are open to all orchestral instruments, as well as singing, classical guitar, piano and composition, with a wide choice of teachers of international standing. The Festival runs at the same time with the Masterclasses, has about fifty events per season and represents an unmissable appointment in Narni's summer, which attracts a large influx of audience.
