Programs
COSI’s two and three-week programs for singers and pianists run from Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. The majority of mornings are dedicated to intensive Italian language training through The English School in Sulmona. Afternoons include regular voice lessons and coaching (including a focus on Italian lyric diction) as well as sessions in acting and stagecraft. Evenings are appropriately focused on rehearsals, workshops, forums and other group events. The evenings July 15-21 are dedicated to the culminating Courtyard and Cathedral Concerts, and the closing Concerto di Gala on Sunday, July 21.
Sundays July 7 and 14 are free days. Participants may choose to make an excursion to any number of locations: Rome, the seaside resort city of Pescara, or the ancient mountain town of Scanno, well-known for its traditional dress, hand-crafted jewellery, and beautiful lakeside.
