To our friends of the Cortona Sessions,
We are so excited to announce a new location for our 2024 program: the beautiful Akoesticum facilities located in Ede, Netherlands. This state-of-the-art building will provide us with the perfect location to focus on “the heart of the Cortona Sessions” — beauty, friendship, community, creativity, and amazing music.
Everyone at the Cortona Sessions will enjoy living together in the dormitories, rehearsing and learning together in the ensemble rooms and studios, and having breakfast and lunch together as a group almost every day. For a break, we can go walking together on the beautiful forested paths surrounding the Akoesticum building. We can lounge at the cafe/bar on site, partake of the free coffee and tea while working on our next projects, and when our work is done for the day we can do as the Dutch do and hop on our bicycles to enjoy an evening out on the town. For more adventures we can take the train to Utrecht or Amsterdam and explore the beautiful canals, stunning museums, and richly historical neighborhoods of this amazing country.
But that’s not all! We will be joined by a new faculty member and leader this summer: the visionary talent of Anthony R. Green. I’ll share more about him in another post very soon, but for now, check out his bio here.
I hope you will plan to join us on this exciting new adventure! Applications open Monday, November 27, 2024, and will close on January 5. Click here for more info.
