XXXIV International Summer Academy Cervo

1.9.2024 - 12.9.2024

We welcome the renowned teachers who have confirmed their attendance and look forward to new discoveries among the young musicians who will present themselves here.

In the past 34 years always in September Cervo has developed into a meeting place for young musicians from all over the world with lecturers of international status. Therefore the summer academy of Cervo can look back at a rich and exciting history.

With pleasure we can see again and again that graduates of the academy prove themselves as soloists in the hard competition of concert life or gain leading positions as professors at universities and concertmasters or soloists in important orchestras.

The incomparable atmosphere of the old part of Cervo has always fascinated the students and contributed to the creation of a spirit of friendship and teamwork that in two weeks often created exceptional performances. A big “Cervo music family” has developed, that lives together here, making wonderful music and also includes the competent and interested audience.

We thank the community of Cervo, the district of Imperia and the region Liguria for their long standing cooperation. At the same time we say thanks to everyone, who has filled with their collaboration the academy with life and substance, first of all my wife Elfe von Arnim, who died in 2004 and who was the heart and soul of the academy for a long time. Without her tireless effort during the first years the academy would not exist today.

Arnulf von Arnim








Music for romantic window blinds.
Music, which connects itself with the Italian summer.
That is Cervo.

I warmly support the idea to offer young musicians a forum, which enables them to experience a meeting of different cultures and musical ideas, through learning, performing and living together.

I therefore hope that the Summeracademy Cervo will remain the meeting ground for young european musicians in the future, and that the Academy concerts from the festival participants will form a link between the Liguria region and young musicians from Europe and the rest of the world.

Dr. h.c. Annemarie Renger 1919-2008
Parliamentary speaker a.D.- Bonn

I hereby warmly welcome the organization, the teachers and the young musicians of the International Summeracademy to Cervo.

With enthusiasm I welcome the return of the talents, that each year allow the small city of Cervo to be distinguished as "music village", to a place where the music finds it's way through the Ligurian alleys and squares and makes Cervo an omitted and enchanted town.

The summer academy is an ideal extension of the chamber music festival, joining the international successes of different nationalities, cultures, languages, professional and human experiences, which enrich our everyday life.

So a lot of thanks to all the teachers, the young talents, to Cervo, which offers facilities for the concerts, and thus supports the chance for musicians and people to enjoy the inspirations of friendships and meetings of different cultures.
