ABOUT

About The Concerto Camp

The Concerto Camp (TCC) is a classical music educational program initiated and managed by Scala Arts. TCC aims to provide immersive and inspiring learning opportunities for avid and advanced young soloists eager to build up concerto repertoire and orchestral performance experience. Every year, TCC assigns a set of concertos as the repertoire of study and develops a series of courses that help participants methodically and practically master these works and beyond. 

EVERY enrolled student will

  • have a dedicated intensive rehearsal session with TCC's professional partner orchestra.

  • perform one movement from the repertoire of study with the orchestra in a concert at an esteemed concert hall. 

  • have the final concerto performance professionally recorded with multi-cameras and audio engineering.

  • have one-on-one private lessons with renowned concert artists and educators.

  • have group lessons and seminars covering different aspects of concerto performance taught by renowned performing artists and educators.

  • ​have opportunities to be selected to be presented at the camp's master classes.

  • ​have opportunities to sign up for group solo recitals at an esteemed concert venue.

The Concerto Camp 2025 is for PIANO concertos only. More instruments' concertos will be added to future camps.
