NUME Academy & Festival

NUME Academy & Festival was founded in 2018 with the goal of creating an international gathering place dedicated to high-level musical training and the promotion of classical culture. Organized by Seraphino APS, the Festival and the Academy bring together young musicians from around the world, offering them the opportunity to engage with some of the most prominent performers on the international music scene.

Through masterclasses, workshops, concerts, and in-depth discussions, NUME builds an educational model based on the transmission of knowledge, intergenerational dialogue, and accessibility. The Academy welcomes young talents selected through free advanced training programs, creating an international community where artistic excellence goes hand in hand with sharing and personal growth.

Set in the area around Cortona, NUME helps highlight the connection between music, cultural heritage, and the landscape, transforming the region into a meeting place for artists, students, and the public. Through its activities, the Festival promotes a vision of classical music as an open and participatory experience, capable of generating new cultural opportunities and supporting emerging talent.
