They will also have the opportunity to attend all masterclasses by the faculty during the festival, as well as actively participate in workshops, student concerts, and lectures.

All active students will have the opportunity to participate in at least one of the student concerts. The program they will perform in the concert will be proposed by the students themselves and must be approved by the teachers.
