ILMA TEACHING

The “Instituto Laboratorio di Musica Antica” (ILMA), created in 2002 by the Province of Pordenone and the Associazione Antiqua, and directed by Gian Paolo Fagotto, is a structure that organically integrates musicological research with the production of musical performances and recordings.  In 2009, Cristiano Contadin and Gian Paolo Fagotto created the ILMA Summer courses, which take place during a week of July or August in the town of San Vito al Tagliamento (Pordenone), a small architectural treasure trove of palaces, churches, and a castle perfectly preserved and restored in the Renaissance style.  Maestri such as R. Goebel, S. Kujken, R. Alessandrini are just a few of the teachers that have participated in these courses.

The viola da gamba course is part of the Department of Ancient Music, which also includes classes in Baroque Violin, Baroque Vocal Repertoire, Lute, Recorder, Harpsichord, and Baroque Bassoon. On the Facebook page of the Department of Early Music (link) you will find pictures and more information about the numerous Institute projects and concerts that take place throughout the spectacular city of Venice. These collaborations between students and professors offer a remarkable and unique opportunity to develop as a young musician.
