About SIPO<\/h2>\n

The aim is to deepen the musical knowledge of every participant through classes with great masters. The friendly atmosphere of the village is part of its success, and over the years the festival has reached new audiences of all ages across the region.<\/p>\n

The master classes<\/h2>\n

SIPO\u2019s teaching structure is unique in Portugal. A group of acclaimed international pianists, each with an assistant, form several teaching groups. Participants can join every course and work with more than one teacher, learning different methods.<\/p>\n

Places are limited to about 40 participants, who work in rotation. Many are young Portuguese musicians, for whom SIPO is an important step in their careers.<\/p>\n
