This edition of the Volterra Project will be a very special one: to celebrate this anniversary, we will exceptionally deviate from our 12 students formula and will not open applications, Instead, welcome back fourteen former international participants from past editions. Diverse in origins and professional trajectories, who have been invited for their deep resonance with the Volterra Project vision to gather with us for nine days in a symposium of the classical tradition — a time of dialogue, reflection, and convivial exchange,,where diversity, creativity, art, life, and personal journeys are shared and celebrated.

one daily group session
A musician is an athlete, your body is your first instrument
Based on different somatic techniques, the course will give information on the general structure and function of the skeletal and muscular systems : muscular imbalances, stability and mobility,differences in tension, relaxation and efficiency.
Good breathing influences posture and relieves muscle tension. Greater breath control helps to free up musical movement, to play with less stress and more musicality.
The course will teach practical applications of information that can be incorporated into a daily practice, It will help you to become more aware of the use of yourself.

We will address a multiplicity of areas, such as:
- Stage fright:
what it is, why we (all) experience it, and how to manage it. - Developing the theatrical side of music:
discover the many voices and characters within the music, the instrument, and yourself. - Charisma is not genetic:
controlling the stage and projecting your presence is an acquired skill that can be develope - The art of giving and receiving:
building a bridge with your audience allows the communication to travel both ways - It is a child’s play:
finding freedom, confidence, and bravery in performance will allow you to re-learn how to play with your playing.
