Dear Students, Colleagues, and Friends,

We’re delighted to share that a limited number of places are still available for our ten-day intensive program for classical singers, led by renowned American soprano Valerie Girard.

We are especially seeking mezzo-sopranos and tenors to complete this year’s ensemble, though applications are warmly welcomed from singers of all voice types.

This is a rare opportunity to work closely with exceptional artists in a supportive, international environment—designed to inspire growth, refine technique, and deepen artistic expression.

The program offers:

— Individual voice lessons and personalized coaching tailored to your unique instrument and goals

— Masterclasses in vocal technique and repertoire with Valerie Girard

— In-depth musical coaching with internationally active pianist, conductor, and vocal coach Marioara Trifan, alongside English collaborative pianist and conductor James Gray

— A special Early Music masterclass led by James Gray

— A final festival concert featuring all participants, with a professional video recording to showcase your work

Non-active participants are also welcome to attend all lessons and masterclasses as observers.

We would be delighted to welcome you.

Apply now to secure one of the remaining places.

Kind regards,

Valerie Girard
