Testimonials

“This festival is truly one of a kind. Set on the breathtaking island of Spetses, I could not find a more enriching experience anywhere on earth. The faculty are world class, and deeply care about each student’s growth during the festival. The facilities are beautiful, the administration are warm and extremely caring. What’s more, is that the quality of life, and the people you spend your time with during this program, will not only become friends, but true family. 

As someone who has been two MAAKSS for two summers thus far, I found I grew tremendously as a musician and a person. The hardest part about this festival is saying goodbye to everyone at it’s end. Though it’s only ten days, it will be ten days to remember fondly for the rest of your life.

Whether you’re a pre college musician, or working professional, this festival will inspire, nurture, and give you opportunities you never thought possible.

I am extremely proud to have gone to MAAKSS for two summers, and I can only hope to return for more years to come!”

Thank you for creating this Academy!

I found that impressive, that we had such a great setting, with great food, great accommodations, and of course great teachers for such affordable fees! It would be great to see it getting bigger, with more instruments, so that I could recommend it to more of my friends!

My name is Antonio Caruso, I am Italian and I play the French horn. Last summer I attended the MAAKSS for the first time. With all my honesty it is difficult to express in words what it meant to me to participate in this masterclass. I have participated in other masterclasses in the past in Italy, but  this one has been so impactful for me, a  litteraly life changing experience in my musical life so far.

I had the opportunity to take lessons every day with the teacher Kostas Siskos, to whom I am truly grateful for all his lessons, and with whom I also created a very human relationship, which made me grow a lot also from a personal point of view and not just from a purely technical one. The many conversations made during this experience are still today for me an anchor that support me in difficult moments.

We had the opportunity to perform with piano accompaniment, to play in a horn ensemble and in an orchestra, as well as listening to all the others. The environment and atmosphere that were created in those days was truly magical!!  with the always friendly and helpful staff, with the other students and teachers and at a lovely place. I think it is really difficult to find an environment where you can make music, learn a lot and also feel so good as a human being, and it is even more fantastic that all these things happened in 10 days in Spetses. Having said that, I want to express all my gratitude for this scholarship. This important experience for my personal and musical life would not have been possible otherwise.  Thank you!!
