Antonio Artese
Our faculty are not only great artists and performers in their own right, but they are dedicated teachers and mentors to young musicians.
Each brings a passion for giving back to the next generation of performers on the international stage, fostering group collaboration in a chamber music setting, and excellence for solo artists.
We draw faculty members from institutions all over the US, Europe and Italy, with many returning year to year.
