The American viola soloist Brett Deubner, Professor at Queens College, Round Top, in collaboration with Exedra Associazione Culturale and La Giga Associazione Musicale, offers students a week-long immersion into viola and string repertoire.

For intermediate/advanced viola-players and pre-existing string quartets, this intensive week of individual and group lessons, public master-classes, music/business lectures and chamber-music coaching culminates in a chamber-music concert and a chamber-orchestra concert in beautiful Syracuse, Sicily. Together with Marco Terlizzi, violinist, Brett will work closely with participants in one-to-one and in group sessions.
