MusiCampeggio is a summer music campus that enriches young people's musical, cultural and social skills and leaves a unique memory. It alternates individual lessons, sectionals and orchestra rehearsals with free time: theory becomes practice, and choosing to keep studying an instrument comes more naturally.
It is aimed at students of music middle schools and music high schools, aged 11 to 16, who play violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, sax, horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, percussion or piano.
Created in 2010 by Prof. Stefano Frisenna, now president of the CPO, it has welcomed more than five hundred young people from all over Sicily: many went on to study music thanks to the campus.
