INTRODUCTION
Sinfonia Music School's International Master Classes “LuccaEstate2010” and the 10th “Città di Lucca” Chamber Music Festival are organized by the Sinfonia Music School and the Lucca’s Conservatory, “Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali Luigi Boccherini”. The two events will take place in the Historical Centre of Lucca Town, from 19th August to 10th September 2010.

Students will be given the possibility of performing in many concerts, in relation to which their names will appear on the main Festival advertisements. Furthermore, the best students will be brought to the attention of important Concert Associations that have offered their availability for some concerts of the 2010/2011 musical season. At the end of the courses, students will be awarded certificates of attendance.
