Italy Sounds Classic is a three-day event of concerts, conferences, workshops and meetings aimed at young musicians and professionals in the world of classical music, taking place from Thursday 9 to Saturday 11 June at the Volvo Congress Center in Piazza Costituzione in Bologna, Italy.
On Friday 10 June at 14.00, there's a workshop on "how to prepare for an audition" - a very important theme for young musicians - with EUYO Rehearsal Director Peter Stark, who spoke on this theme already on the EUYO YouTube channel here, in a series dedicated to audition tips.
The same day at 21.00, a brass and percussion ensemble of the EUYO will perform on stage in the Europa Auditorium, with a concert that ranges from the driving rhythmic minimalism of Steve Reich to the grand triumphal sounds of Verdi - an evening of music that's free and open to everyone, see the full programme below.
