How to reach us

Since 2006, Chianti in Musica has organised courses in flute, oboe, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, guitar, piano, chamber music with piano, and vocal chamber music. With a constant focus on ensemble music, the formation of chamber groups is fostered every year.

After the COVID emergency, which forced us to cancel the 2020 edition and devote the next two seasons exclusively to the Piano and Chamber Music Masterclasses, this year, we are finally back with all our courses.
