Brescia International Early Music Summer School & Festival

What is BIEMSSF?

Addressed to all-age players and singers, the summer school and travelling festival based in Brescia is designed and directed by Marcello Mazzetti and Livio Ticli. It is a unique opportunity for intensive training and performing in Italy: it offers weeks of fantastic singing/playing classes, performance opportunities, along with concerts, social events and tours in some of the most beautiful cities and historic villages in Central and Northern Italy. We welcome students from all over the world to work with European leading early music ensembles, scholars specialised in HIPP and experts in Early Music Pedagogy and Improvisation.
