SUMMER KOPER SYMPHONY
Great musical experience with renowned mentors in a pleasant coastal town
Prof. Tomaž Lorenz had held musical courses for young musicians called Music July in years 1995-2005 in Koper, , . This experience has led many to choose music as their profession. Young people need different experiences in order to develop their personality. We all need to share experiences, we need advice, studying, joy and fun, as well as being in contact with our peers in order to develop our full potential. All this is possible through music. For this reason, we have accepted this new challenge of the Koper Summer Symphony, which proposes to combine the training and concert opportunities for young and professional musicians. The seaside city also offers the opportunity for a relaxing summer atmosphere.
