ABOUT

ABOUT

The Veneto Art and Music Summit (VAMS) is a premier event offering composers, conductors, and performers a unique opportunity to study, collaborate, and showcase their artistry in one of Italy’s most culturally vibrant regions. Set amid the historic charm and natural beauty of Veneto, VAMS brings together musicians from around the world to pursue artistic excellence while immersing themselves in Italy’s rich cultural heritage.

Participants explore iconic sites such as Asolo, Possagno—home to the Antonio Canova Museum—Verona, the romantic city of Romeo and Juliet, and of course, Venice. These inspiring locations provide the perfect setting for creative growth and cultural discovery.

The Summit culminates in Venice with exclusive performances where participants present chamber music, hear their compositions come to life, and take the podium in some of the city’s renowned venues.

VAMS is more than a music program—it’s a journey through the art, history, and cuisine that define Veneto, offering a truly immersive and unforgettable experience.
