Piano Plus Festival welcomes you to the fifth Summer Piano Institute for conservatory, college and university students. The Institute is organized in conjunction with the Department of Music of Ionian University and is supported by the Ionian Islands Prefecture. The seminars, master classes, concerts and excursions will take place on the island of Corfu, Greece, one of the most famous tourist destinations in the country.



The activities of the Institute will be held in the Old Fortress of Corfu. The Old Fortress is one of the most impressive fortifications in Europe. It is the first thing one sees when approaching Corfu by ferry. It stands on the eastern side of the town, on a rocky peninsula jutting into the sea. This fortress is called “Old” in contrast to the New Fortress (of Saint Mark), which was also built to protect the town from enemies and pirates. The Old Fortress was constructed by the Venetians in the 15th century on the site of a former Byzantine castle. Since 1992 it has served as the home of the Department of Music of Ionian University and inspires hundreds of students who have the luck to practice and perform in this historical setting.



The goal of the Piano Institute is to bring together influential artists from major Greek and international music institutions to share knowledge and experience with music students from all over the world. We hope that this Piano Plus Festival Summer Institute will be a unique experience for artists, audiences, and of course for students. This musical week will be filled with performances, special events, visits to historical sites and museums in the old town, excursions around the island and neighboring islands, and of course lots of fun!
