Grumo Festival 2010

Second Edition

Welcome to the Grumo Festival!

For our Second Edition, which will take place July 5 to July 10, 2010, we plan to offer each enrolled student instrument lessons, a series of lectures and studio classes, and evening concerts in venues such as the beautiful Chiostro del Comune, the main square in Grumo Appula, the Centro Studi Musicali, or the magnificent Largo Chiesa in Binetto.

Instructors for 2010 are highly qualified professional musicians, artist performers, and university faculty from Italy, Poland, and the United States.

Room and board for students is available at local Bed and Breakfasts (sometimes called Agriturismo) and restaurants, at very acceptable costs. Additionally, a few local families have offered hospitality. Availability is limited and offered on a first-come first-served basis. The organization of the Grumo Festival will do its best to provide support with travel and accommodation arrangements (i.e. transportation from and to the airport), translation, or simply advice.

Many attractions are available nearby, from the Castellana Caves to marvelous Mediterranean beaches, from the UNESCO protected heritage site of Alberobello with its unique Trulli, to the thirteenth century Castel del Monte, with its octagonal shape.

Sign up today, and enjoy an everlasting international cultural experience at the Grumo Festival 2010! We look forward to welcoming you here.
