About Us
We focus on building a strong community of outstanding musicians through top-level education, collaborative concerts and shared activities that help our wellbeing
Altalena is a dynamic international artists collective and educational platform centered on classical music.
Operating at the intersection of artistic excellence, education and well-being, it connects emerging professionals who share an inspiring vision for the future of the Arts.
Through specialist masterclasses, collaborative projects, and interdisciplinary support from experts in health, sports and science, Altalena provides the next generation of performing artists with essential tools for a sustainable and fulfilling career.
Education
Our summer academy and masterclasses are dedicated to providing top-level music education in a welcoming, non-competitive environment. Curated by the musicians and visionaries of Altalena’s core team, the Summer Academy invites world-renowned professors and artists to work intensively with the talented participants.
The academy is dedicated to shaping the next generation of musicians through a holistic approach to their artistry. In addition to exceptional specialised education, we engage students in the importance of well-being, providing vital tools for sustaining good health. We believe that lasting success on-stage is built upon a healthy, balanced foundation off-stage.
Be part of it
Beyond lessons and masterclasses, we foster a strong sense of community where musicians can openly share their experiences, discuss challenges, and develop a healthy mindset for their careers. We emphasise the importance of well-being, offering activities that support both artistic and personal growth. By combining world-class instruction with a supportive and open atmosphere, we help young musicians gain the confidence, skills, and inspiration they need to thrive.
At Altalena, we don’t just train musicians—we build a community. Our goal is to provide an unforgettable experience where students feel encouraged, empowered, and equipped with the tools they need for a successful and fulfilling musical journey in an ever more demanding musical world. Whether through performance, collaboration, or meaningful discussions, we create an environment where every artist can grow and develop to their full potential.
MUSIC AND ART FESTIVALS
Our festivals in Tuscany and Telki, held alongside the masterclasses, are carefully curated concert series featuring world-renowned professors, invited guest artists, emerging professionals from the Altalena Artists Collective, and outstanding students of the masterclasses.
The festivals offers a rich and varied program that highlights the diverse artistic voices within our community.
