Dear Music Educator,
The Neapolitan Music Society and the McCallum Chamber Orchestra are excited about the Master Class being presented from November 3 through 9 at the McCallum Fine Arts Academy in an exciting program of extended study, rehearsal, and performance that will immerse the academy's advanced music students in the history and music of the Naples conservatories, which were the finest music academies of their day.
