Overview

BPA aims to provide an answer to the needs of young pianists and advanced students with the masterclasses of internationally renowned musical performers and teachers whose artistic category and pedagogical career ensure an artistic experience to all the participants in 10 intensive days of musical experiences during the summer in Barcelona. BPA offers piano masterclasses, workshops, Alexander Technique, a cycle of concerts (BPA CONCERT SERIES) and an international piano competition (BPA INTERNATIONAL PIANO AWARD). BPA’s aim is not only to be a Summer course with the best teachers and to work for the personal enrichment of each student, but our philosophy is one of a serious commitment with Music and with our Society. We want to contribute to make Barcelona a musical landmark, fostering the meeting of young talented people from different countries and backgrounds, that share an intense passion for Music, a strong wish for self-improvement and a tireless enthusiasm in the pursuit of great artistic goals. Barcelona has been and remains a fundamental center in the development of the Spanish Music for piano. Due to it and given some of the teachers' profile, BPA wants to put a special emphasis on the music of the composers of this country.
