This 2-week camp takes place at the Fondazione Passarelli in Salerno, south-western Italy. Salerno is situated less than 30 miles south of Naples and 145 miles south of Rome. Musica Vesuviana´s curriculum includes an eclectic mix of American and Italian music and musical styles, taught by American and native master teachers. The classes will be taught in English.

Student Testimonials:

"Musica Vesuviana was an amazing experience.  I had the greatest time and I didn't want to leave.  The group of musicians bonded so well, and I learned so much about Italian culture.  The trip furthered my musical knowledge as well as my confidence in performing.  I hope many more can experience the same thing." - A. M.

"I had an amazing time on the Musica Vesuviana trip. I learned so much about not only making and performing music but also even \Italian culture and the people I went on the trip with. It was truly an amazing experience and whenever I look back on it I wish I could go back. I am so happy I went on this trip and I truly can't express how wonderful an experience it was and how much I recommend it to anyone considering it."
- S.D.

"Musica Vesuviana gave me one of the most fulfilling experiences I could ever hope for. Unforgettable trips, extensive lessons with talented musicians, concert locales (one in the center of a castle!), gelato, and all that Italy had to offer, in the short span of two weeks, handed me an enwrapping trip to Italy, guided by an actual Italian. I wish there was more time to spend."Thank you for all the bass tips that will improve my playing in the future. It was a great two weeks and I hope I might come back for round two." - G. M.

Location & Facilities:

The program will be held at the Fondazione Passarelli Institute, in the town of San Marco in Salerno. San Marco offers the charm of the genuine small fishing village. Being situated in one of Italy's most historic towns presents students and staff with a vast array of cultural, academic, and musical offerings.

The Institute runs a fully functioning academic and residential facility for the pursuit of cultural studies. The complex includes hotel, dining hall, auditoriums, classrooms, practice rooms, private beach, tennis courts, volleyball and soccer fields.

Quality Summer Music Camp for Teenagers:
Any student who is interested in music, whether it is Classical, Gospel, Jazz, Rock, Pop, or Contemporary would thrive at Musica Vesuviana. All students will be involved in performances at the institute as well as in the surrounding communities, where they will be able to share their music. However, the appeal of our summer program goes beyond music training as it also provides students with an immersion in all things Italian: language, travel to famous places (including Pompeii and Rome) and let's not forget Italian food! Students will have the opportunity to meet and make music with students from other states and countries.

As we are based in Massachusetts, our departure is from Boston's Logan Airport where students are accompanied by all the staff members. Upon our arrival in Naples, we will be met by an air-conditioned coach that will transport us and our luggage to the Fondazione Passarelli.
