The building, spanning over 30,000 square feet, has recently undergone a major restoration. The festival will offer a series of chamber orchestra concerts, student and faculty chamber music performances, private instruction, as well as masterclasses with faculty and visiting artists. Extracurricular activities will be provided, including Italian language lessons, lectures on art history and archaeology, and excursions to Rome and Venice. Concerts will be performed both indoors and outdoors in the picturesque ancient towns of the central Italian region of Molise and in the XIII Century Benedectine cloister of San Nicola, in the Tremiti Islands. The Adriatic Chamber Music Festival will also give a chamber music concert in Rome for the Jubileum of the year 2000.
Students live in two-four bed fully furnished rooms in the uper level of the monastery.
Meals are freshly prepared and served in an authentic Italian restaurant in Bonefro. In addition to musical activities, students will be able to profit from Italian language classes, and lectures in art history and archaeology. A limited amount of financial aid is available, based upon ability and need. Fees DO NOT include airfare.
