OUR FOCUS · Italian Renaissance and Baroque Repertoire (15-17th cent.)
OUR APPROACH · Cutting-edge Pedagogy based on historical sources (solmisation, performing from facsimiles, studying treatises etc.)
OUR STRENGTH · Performing in breathtaking historical venues (palaces, church double balconies etc.) the music conceived specifically for those contexts – often with original instruments such as 16-17th-century pipe organs (Brescia and surroundings)

FLASH INTRODUCTION
The EM background we created is built upon historical sources starting from all-encompassing disciplines such as solmisation, contrappunto à la mente/diminution/improvisation, canto figurato, canto fermo, etc. All this knowledge and related skills were part of a common background, and were shared amongst singers and players. Mastering a specific skill (as well as virtuoso performances) came out from this versatile mindset and common tool-set, mainly grounded in singing. Thus, our goal is to re-found and re-think an “early” music training, not based on the 19-20th-cent heritage of the (modern) conservatoire, but looking at earlier music chapels and noble chambers according to a historical pedagogy.
EDUCATION
Our varied range of Programmes includes several different paths and modules: Master Programmes, Professional Training for soloists and vocal/instrumental ensembles, Seminars on Italian Pronunciation for singers, Courses focussed on Italian 15/17th-century Music, Classes in Historical Counterpoint (Italian contrappunto à la mente), Ornamentation (Italian diminuzione), Improvisation, Vocal Coaching, Basso Continuo for strings, plucked instruments and keyboards, and much more at www.santaceciliabrescia.it/dipartimento-musica-antica/international-students/
