Cremona, Italy
2020 CREMONA INTERNATIONAL MUSIC ACADEMY
IS ON WITH ITS ONLINE PROGRAM!
Dear Friends! While due to the Covid-19 pandemic we are not holding our wonderful Cremona Academy this year in CREMONA, we decided to offer our students ONLINE version of the 2020 Cremona Academy. The e-Music Academy will take place from July 26 until August 12 in Virtual Academy Rooms and a Virtual Academy Concert Hall.
We are very thankful to our Brilliant Faculty for their great support and initiative. We thank them for their willingness to conduct lessons and master classes online and continue sharing their knowledge and their mastery with students from many countries in a virtual teaching space! And we are extremely happy and thrilled to welcome world’s most prominent musicians who, in such difficult and uncertain times, will join the Academy for the first time! We are delighted to introduce to you the violinist Ilya Kaler, pianists Till Fellner and Victor Rosenbaum, and the members of the Quartetto di Cremona, violinist Cristiano Gualco and violist Simone Gramaglia.
We are confident that lessons, master classes, interactive workshops and lectures will be very beneficial for participants and that working and communicating with great musicians will enhance and enrich their playing.
We all hope that in summer 2021 we return to CREMONA, meet again and will celebrate the joy of life, joy of music, and ten unforgettable Seasons of Cremona Music Academy with its magical music making in Cremona, the Capital of Contemporary Violin Making.
Please check our Programs and Admissions pages for more information. Auditors are welcome!

As Mayor of Cremona, I am very proud and happy to welcome the 2020 Cremona International Music Academy to our medieval town. Music has always played an important role in our town going back as far as the 16th Century, when Claudio Monteverdi was born and worked here, and 17th Century, when legendary Amati, Stradivari, and Guarneri made Cremona the Capital of Violin making of the world.
I am proud that since its first season in 2011, Cremona Academy established close contact and collaboration with Cremona Chamber of Commerce and its members, including Consorzio Liutai “Antonio Stradivari”. We are happy that the Academy is based at the Chamber of Commerce and performs in some of the most beautiful halls and palaces in Cremona and Lombardy Region, including picturesque medieval town of Crema.
The success of the Cremona Academy was evident right from its very first edition and the conditions for an organizational surge in successive editions were quickly established. This resulted in an increase not only in participant numbers but also and above all in an improvement in technical and artistic quality.
