The course

Since 2004, Camerata Sant Cugat has been organizing the Sant Cugat International Singing Course. During these years, the course has established itself as a reference in the world of vocal education, and lyrical singing in particular. The event is associated with the city of Sant Cugat and two of its most emblematic buildings: the Victòria dels Àngels Municipal School of Music and the cloister of the Monastery of Sant Cugat del Vallès. During these 17 years, more than 270 active students from 14 different countries have gone through the course.
