CONCERTI AL CHIOSTRO
In the atmospheric space of the cloister of San Nicolò, young musicians from the Perugia Conservatory of Music offer eight concerts featuring music from all ages and genres, for a wide variety of instruments and ensembles: the choral baroque of Carissimi and Scarlatti and the contemporary oratorio The Passion of the Little Match Girl by David Lang, for voices and percussion; unusual ensembles such as the accordion combined with sax - and duos, trios and quartets from the great musical tradition of the 19th and 20th centuries; the virtuoso piano of Liszt and Rachmaninov and the romanticism of Mendelssohn, Schumann and Brahms; contemporary sound researches for solo instruments and voices - and 'ancient' sonorities with a Mozart concerto on the original instrument; and finally an unusual Rossini with the ariette from camera for voice and piano, and the Barber of Seville in a crackling transcription for brass quintet.

The Morlacchi Conservatory of Perugia is the only State Institution of Higher Education in Artistic Music present in Umbria with the purpose of higher education, specialization, research and musical production. Founded more than two hundred years ago as a Music Institute, and erected into a Conservatory of Music in 1974, it definitively acquired, in 1999, the status of a university-level institution. It is considered among the most vital and proactive conservatories in Italy, both for the prestige of its teaching staff and for the quality, quantity and continuity of its artistic production. It relies on the professionalism of 102 tenured faculty and about 600 students enrolled in institutional courses; it awards three-year (First Level) and two-year specialist (Second Level) degrees. There is also an official propaedeutic course of study, which takes care of the training of younger students for later access to institutional courses. Teaching subjects include courses for all instruments. There is also a department of Jazz Music and New Music Technologies (Electronic Music) equipped with an excellent and technologically advanced laboratory. Instrumental practice is complemented by theory and ensemble subjects such as Music Theory, Harmony, History of Music, Ensemble Music and from Chamber, Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra from Chamber, Choir, Children's and Youth Choir. Finally, the educational offerings are enriched by the possibility of taking individual courses, which are accessed through an entrance exam, and free courses, released from traditional and institutional paths, open to all without age limits, which are accessed through a simple aptitude interview. The Conservatory, owned by the City of Perugia, is derived from the renovation of a monumental building from the 1500s. In its impressive Auditorium, a large from concert Organ, equipped with five keyboards to mechanical transmission, two pedalboards, fifty-eight registers and more than six thousand pipes, was specially built to the Conservatory's original design. Given the importance of the instrument, the Auditorium of the Conservatory of Perugia was chosen by MIUR as the official venue for holding the 2014 edition of the National Arts Prize for the "Organ" Section. Since November 2013 it has been directed by M° Piero Caraba. Since April 2015, the president of the Conservatory has been Prof. Andrea Sassi. (www.conservatorioperugia.it.)
