In 2018 the celebrated summer school for advanced and amateur pianists moved to the spectacular Chateau d’Aix, in Quercy, one of the most beautiful regions of Southwest France.
Our ethos has always been, and remains, self-discovery through music. Now in 2024 we are offering a drama course to run alongside, with the aim of exploring and experiencing the common ground between two distinct art forms.
Five actors will participate in intensive workshops and rehearsals, culminating in a play at the end of the week. The project will be led by professional actors and directors and will include satellite classes on mask work and pure movement
Music & Theatre at Chateau d'Aix offers a unique opportunity for professional and trainee actors to broaden their skills and to observe performers in another medium perfecting their craft
“What an extraordinary week we spent with you! It wasn't just the music, it was even more than that: there was such a wonderful atmosphere of warmth and friendship.”
“I was not surprised that the movement classes were so valuable to me as a pianist, but I could never have imagined that observing the mask workshop would be so relevant! Gobsmacking!”
“The experience was truly unforgettable and re-energizing.
The instruction, performances, the scenery, the people, and the food was absolutely amazing.”
Fees for Music at Chateau d’Aix include accommodation, all meals, refreshments, tuition at every level, and concerts.
