CANTOstuni. Singing masterclass is open to all the singers who wish to deepen their vocal technique and to have a better understanding of their own body – as their main instrument. This year, the course will include acting sessions – meant for a better understanding of the characters performed – as singers – as well as for a better flexibility and confidence in their own abilities of expression.

Born as an initiative of Don Piero Suma and Angela Sindeli, soprano & singing teacher at the National University of Music Bucharest, the masterclass gathers people from all over the world, animated by their common passion for singing and for classical music.

Why joining?
For giving yourselves time to focus on music, acting and wellbeing. Five days of intensive work makes an important difference in the way you approach your voice, your artistic and emotional potential, your study habits and your body’s response to singing. Not to mention the mental state that flourishes when focusing on what you love the most – making music.
Based on the past experience, CantOstuni is not only about the voice, but also about friendship, sharing, supporting and learning from each other in a relaxed atmosphere.
