Cristiano Contadin teaches viola da gamba and baroque chamber music at Venice’s “Benedetto Marcello” Conservatory in the splendid setting of the Palazzo Pisani.
The viola da gamba course is part of the Department of Ancient Music, which also includes classes in Baroque Violin, Baroque Vocal Repertoire, Lute, Recorder, Harpsichord, and Baroque Bassoon. On the Facebook page of the Department of Early Music you will find pictures and more information about the numerous Institute projects and concerts that take place throughout the spectacular city of Venice. These collaborations between students and professors offer a remarkable and unique opportunity to develop as a young musician.
