B1 | In the starlight
lecturer: Serena Marino (Italy)
Man watches the show of the starry night with ever new admiration, as if the stars had crossed space and time to come and tell us something magical: be it the sound of the celestial spheres, the incredible numbers of their distance, the geometries they draw in the darkness of the night.

B2 | A sea of dreams [to be prepared in advance]
lecturer: Luca Scaccabarozzi (Italy)
Where do our childhood dreams, our passions and desires, our aspirations for a better world live? Let us try to find them on the surface of the water, where our gaze is lost in infinity, or at the bottom of the sea where the rhythm of the waves rocks us and the seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake.

lecturer: Davide Benetti (Italy)
Canzone, chanson, lied, song... they have always been spaces of play, entertainment, but also of reflection and poetry, where man reworked the present with irony and nostalgia, experimentation and tradition.

Ateliers: How to practice?
During the festival the choir participates in only one atelier, unless objective needs are agreed upon with the organisation. When registering, each group has the option of specifying multiple atelier choices. The options are only indicative; the final division into the ateliers is determined by the artistic coordinator, Carlo Pavese, jointly with the festival organisation on the basis of various factors such as: staffing, size of the group, curricula, previous participation in the festival, other characteristics.
The ateliers are held in Italian or English as specified in the section dedicated to the description of the ateliers. In Montecatini Terme, each participant receives the educational file related to his or her atelier, which he or she should keep carefully for study during the festival.
