Benedetto Lupo will hold a Masterclass from August 28 to 30, 2026, on the island of Capraia (LI), Italy.
The Masterclass is open to pianists (both graduates and non-graduates) born in 1995 or later.
Each student is entitled to three one-hour lessons, held on August 28, 29, and 30.
Participants may attend other lessons and, if needed, book a room for individual practice.
The schedule and structure of the Masterclass will be determined by the teacher based on the class composition. A final concert featuring selected students, chosen at the teacher’s sole discretion, may be organized if the progress of the Masterclass allows it.
The artistic direction will consider inviting one or more outstanding students to perform in the next edition of the festival.
All participants will have free access to the 2026 festival concerts.
To apply, candidates must submit:
1. A completed registration form.
2. An updated curriculum vitae.
3. A YouTube link to a video recording featuring a freely chosen program of one or more pieces, with a total duration of 15 to 20 minutes if possible.
The recording should preferably be made with a fixed camera and, in any case, without edits.
If multiple pieces are performed, recordings made at different times and locations are allowed.
4. A detailed program of the pieces to be performed during the masterclass must also be attached to the application.
