Festival Suoni d'Abruzzo aims at promoting classical music, by featuring every year a series of classical music concerts in the central Italy region of Abruzzo.

In addition, every summer the Festival hosts the FSDA Chamber Music Institute: students from all over the world travel to Abruzzo to attend an intensive training held by internationally renowned pedagogues and soloists, joining them within each concert, in a unique chance of closely-followed professional growth.

Each participant receives the highest quality of musical training through daily individual lessons, chamber music lessons and coachings, masterclasses, lectures and seminars.

The FSDA Chamber Music Institute is open to college and pre-college pianists, violinists, violists, cellists, bassists, guitarists, clarinetists, flutist, hornists, oboists, percussionists, classical singers.

College students are auditioned and assigned to a main professor and to two/three chamber music ensembles.

Pre-college students are auditioned and assigned both according to their expertise and age to the most appropriate professors and chamber music ensembles.

FSDA Professors perform with both college and pre-college chamber music ensembles: we strongly believe in the value of performing with professionals and being influenced by their approach to the performance.

The Festival counts a solid partnership with renowned Conservatories and Institutions, such as the Milano Music Master School, the Florida State University, the Southeast Missouri State University, the Southern Illinois University of Carbondale (USA).
