The Course is open to guitar soloists and pre-formed chamber music ensembles with guitar.

In 2023 the course will be carried out in online mode, with Maestro Ghiglia connected remotely. The lessons of the first week (July 3-8) will take place online with students connected from their residence, while in the second week (July 10-15) students will have to attend online lessons being in Siena. In the second part of the course, active students will thus be able to participate in the activities of the Academy and perform on various occasions (musical aperitifs, musical appointments, final concert of the class).

Auditor students, on the other hand, will be able to follow the course – in part or in full – from their own residence.

Chamber music ensembles in existence for at least one year may register as pre-formed groups, taking advantage of the reduction in the attendance fees reserved to them (more info).

Candidates must submit to the admission exam (video-audition) – indicating it in advance on the registration form – a program of 20 minutes in length including significant works from the solo or chamber repertoire, from which some pieces will be chosen for evaluation at the discretion of the commission.
