After three editions, and by virtue of a successful enrolment and media involvement at a national level in the music and record industry, the BE.GO. Music Academy renews the appointment for a fourth edition full of surprises and changes that will be held from 29 May to 1 June at the Teatro del Popolo in Castelfiorentino (FI).
The Academy, devised and led by Maestro Diego Calvetti, music producer, author, manager and conductor, currently working on the stage of the Orchestra of the 75th edition of the Sanremo Festival, is aimed at a new generation of songwriters and artists and includes training courses, masterclasses and performances in front of the best professionals in the recording/music industry. As in previous editions, scholarships will also be awarded. For further information: www.begomusicacademy.it
Artists who sign up will be able to participate in the masterclasses and perform in front of around 30 high-profile recording/music professionals, chosen with the aim of providing participants with a parterre that can represent all areas of music in a comprehensive and sophisticated manner. In addition to being lecturers in the scheduled masterclasses, the professionals will listen, comment and provide precious advice in real time to the participants who will perform on the theatre stage, offering all their experience in the musical world to enable the participants to build their own wealth of knowledge necessary to create a more solid and concrete future in music.
These are some of the masterclasses that have been held in previous editions: “Songwriting”; “Music Publishing and Sync Licensing”; “Discography and Management”; “Radio, TV and Press Promotion and Communication”; “Songwriting”; “Music Production”; “Image, Video and Social Content”, “Digital and Spotify” and “The Best Approach to Live”.
In the past, guests of the Academy have included Alex Britti, Ermal Meta, Noemi, Paola Turci, Piero Perlù, Kekko by Modà, Marco Masini, Il Tre, Joan Thiele, Emma Nolde, Legno, Alberto Bianco and Postino, great artists of Italian music, but also singer-songwriters of the new generation, who shared their experience through a chat with the participants, who had the opportunity to interact by asking questions.
“These days”, observes Culture Councillor Franco Spina, “Maestro Diego Calvetti is busy at the Sanremo Festival, but we are already working together on the next edition of the Be.Go. Music Academy, which Maestro Calvetti conceived and strongly desired in Castelfiorentino to enhance young musical talents, offering them a showcase and an unmissable opportunity for comparison and interaction with great artists. A high-profile appointment, therefore, that confirms the role of cultural garrison of excellence of our Teatro del Popolo”.
