Faculty members emphasized the mutual inspiration between students and teachers, highlighting the academy’s unique, immersive atmosphere. Students expressed appreciation for the diversity of teaching styles and the opportunity to connect with musicians from around the world. The program will culminate in a competition, giving young artists a chance to demonstrate their growth and performance skills.
Day Two of the violin masterclasses at the Accordi Musicali Academy 2025 unfolded once again at the stunning Conservatory of Music Luisa D'Annunzio, offering a rich combination of technical development, artistic interpretation, and collaborative exchange. Building on the momentum of the first day, students continued to deepen their understanding and refine their skills under the guidance of internationally renowned professors.
Professors continued to share their artistic insight while guiding students through their repertoire, with noticeable improvement evident in many performances.
“I am happy to give these masterclasses at the Accordi Academy,” says Zohrab Tadevosyan, one of the academy’s distinguished faculty members. “The best thing about this work is to help the students improve themselves, be creative and free, and enjoy the magic of music.”
Professor Karen Shahgaldyan added, “Every academy is very inspiring, not only for students but for professors as well. It's very important for us to have conversations with the younger generation of musicians and to learn something new from them.”
He continued, “The Accordi Academy is truly unique because of the fantastic atmosphere in the city and this Conservatory, which allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the art of music.”
The opportunity for students to receive personalized guidance from such an esteemed panel of international professors—while practicing in a conservatory overlooking the sea—is a rare and enriching experience at the Luisa D’Annunzio Conservatory of Music.
When asked what they appreciate most about the Academy, students pointed to both the educational and cultural value of the program.
“I really like that I get the chance to meet multiple professors who are all very prestigious and offer different perspectives on my playing,” says Mila Haydon, a student from Australia. “It also helps me broaden my global connections.”
Taichi Miyamoto from Japan, visiting Pescara for the first time, expressed his enthusiasm about returning in the future. “I am very happy to be here,” he shares. “What I love most about this program is learning from so many professors—each with their own musicality and philosophy. They taught me that sometimes I don’t have to focus so much on the technical aspects, but rather on the music itself and what the composer is trying to express to the audience.”
The violin masterclasses will continue through July 30, followed by a competition from August 1 to 3, offering participants the opportunity to put their progress to the test and showcase their growing talent.
