The Summer Arts Program offers options in both music and art history in an intensive study format. Daily classes will be interspersed with excursions to the most significant points of interest in the area, where students visit museums, architectural ruins, temples and palaces at the world-famous sites of Pompeii, Naples, Capri, Ravello, and more.

Hotchkiss piano faculty and music department chair Fabio Witkowski and Gisele Nacif Witkowski return to oversee the music program, offering a full-immersion study experience in piano and a chance to interact with festival musicians of all ages and levels. The Witkowskis balance their roles in Italy as coordinators of the Summer Arts program with their participation in the music festival as key performers. More.
