Musical Odyssey

On Wednesday 23 and Thursday 24 July, FOUGARO ARTCENTER welcomes two evenings of classical music at SPACE9, with free admission for the public. During these two concerts, young musicians participating in the Musical Odyssey summer masterclasses will present a rich and diverse summer program. Join us for a celebration of music that supports emerging international talent.

For the tenth consecutive year, Musical Odyssey will take place in Nafplio, from 20 to 27 July 2025. This is a summer music education programme (masterclasses) offering high-level training from internationally acclaimed teachers and performers to young musicians at the early stages of their professional careers in the international music scene.

Beyond teaching, the programme provides valuable support to gifted young artists by offering the opportunity to perform in sponsored concerts organized by major music institutions in the UK and other European countries. The musicians and performers who participate in Musical Odyssey enjoy international recognition, and many are represented by some of the leading artist management agencies.

The summer school was founded in 2014 by Yekaterina Lebedeva, a Russian pianist and piano professor at the Royal College of Music in London, initially focusing on piano and voice. As of 2025, flute is also included in the programme. Each year, 30 to 40 students attend from countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Romania, Hungary, Russia, Ukraine, Greece, Spain, Turkey, and Mexico.
