Piano Plus Festival welcomes you to the Second Summer Piano Institute for university- age students. The Institute is organized in conjunction with the Department of Music of Ionian University and is supported by the Ionian Islands Prefecture. The seminars, master classes, concerts and excursions will take place on the island of Corfu, Greece, one of the most famous tourist destinations in the country. The activities of the Institute will be held in the Old Fortress of Corfu. The goal of the Piano Institute is to bring together influential artists from major Greek and international music institutions to share knowledge
and experience with music students from all over the world. We hope that this Piano Plus Festival Summer Institute will be a unique experience for artists, audiences, and of course for students. This musical week will be filled with performances, special events, visits to historical sites and museums in the old town, excursions around the island and neighboring islands, and of course lots of fun!
