We are preparing a special residential retreat for the New Year, led by Chiara Cortez, Giulia Matteucci, and Camille Pascal.

An intimate and immersive experience in Calabria, from December 28, 2026 to January 3, 2027, dedicated to vocal improvisation, presence, and shared creation, as we transition into the New Year.

We will gather in a beautiful countryside home, immersed in nature, for a week of music, listening, and living together.

This retreat brings together three distinct approaches to vocal improvisation, shaped through teaching, performance, and community-building - offering a rare opportunity to experience them side by side.

⏳ You will have until May 30th to confirm your place at this special rate

🌿 Participation options

You may choose between

• A residential formula (course, accommodation, and meals included)

• Or tuition only, arranging accommodation and meals independently

If you choose the residential formula, please note: there are only 8 sleeping places available on site, making this a particularly intimate experience.
