Besides being dedicated to the repertoire for string quartets, the course will also include that of string ensembles (from trios to sextets) and of string ensembles with piano (from trios to quintets).

Single instrumentalists are not eligible for this course.

Should the course be held exclusively online, any ensemble wishing to participate will only be accepted in the case that all of its members are able to meet in the same space (be present via one connection).

Candidates must indicate the pieces they prefer to study during the course on the Application Form and must provide scores and all parts of the compositions chosen.

N.B. For information regarding reductions of the attendance fees, see the general regulations.

Thanks to the collaboration with Le Dimore del Quartetto, the members of each ensemble can request to stay at one of the Tuscan Historical Residences at the total cost of € 200 per ensemble. Since the various residences are located outside the city, it is necessary to have your own means of transport available. You can submit your request to take advantage of this opportunity by filling in the appropriate space on the registration form by June 15. Accommodations are subject to the number of places available at the individual residences.

The entrance examination will be held exclusively by video audition. 

Candidates must submit three pieces: one Classical, one Romantic, and one well-known piece from the 20th century.
