Among the professors leading classes on the day were violinist Sergei Dogadin (Austria), First Prize and Golden Medal Winner at the XVI International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2019, and clarinetist Fabrizio Meloni (Italy), the first solo clarinet chair of the Orchestra and the Philharmonic of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, who both worked closely with students and shared his experience as an internationally acclaimed performer. His presence added further depth to a week that has already brought young musicians into direct contact with leading artists, giving them the chance to receive individual guidance, explore new musical ideas, and reflect on the demands of life as a professional musician.
Speaking about the value of international academies for young musicians today, Dogadin noted that “I think a project like the Accordi Musicali Academy gives a lot of opportunities for young people to meet very good musicians and to get some good advice from people who are on the international stage right now. For me, when I was younger, any kind of masterclass was a great opportunity to learn something new and something very special. I'm really grateful to all my teachers, and hope the younger students of nowadays will also be grateful to the musicians of our generation.”
With its move to Chieti, the Accordi Musicali Academy gave participants a new perspective on the region's cultural landscape while maintaining the same spirit of focus, curiosity, and collaboration that has shaped the week so far. With the conclusion of its teaching programme, the Academy has reaffirmed its place as an important space for young musicians from all around the globe to grow, gain confidence, and experience the value of learning from artists at the highest level as they progress further on their own academic journeys in the world of music.
