Choral Retreat: June 28-July 11
Voice Intensive and Improv and Composition: July 13-26
 At BIIMA, everything begins with you. Our programs are designed for artists who want to take ownership of their growth — exploring what they need most in their artistic journey.
Unlike traditional programs, BIIMA is student-led, not expert-imposed. Each artist shapes their own experience, supported by mentors who guide rather than dictate.
In our flagship program, The Voice Intensive, as well as in our Composition, Creativity and Improv program, we offer daily individual attention — every participant receives personal coaching each day.
For those seeking a communal experience, our Choral Retreat emphasizes group artistry, collective music-making, and ensemble development within a supportive and inspiring environment.
At BIIMA, we believe that balance inspires brilliance. Alongside their intensive training, our students have the opportunity to step away from the studio and immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of Italy.
Our excursions are designed to enrich both heart and mind. Students travel together in comfort on a private bus from the academy to their destination and back, enjoying a seamless and relaxed journey.
One of the most unforgettable experiences is our evening at the historic Verona Amphitheatre, where students gather under the stars to take in a world-class opera performance—a magical night that truly captures the spirit of Italian artistry.
In addition, students enjoy a day trip to a nearby cultural hotspot, such as Milan, Brescia, or Bergamo. These excursions are not guided tours—students are free to explore at their own pace. Whether wandering past Juliet’s balcony, browsing beautiful Italian boutiques, or savoring an Aperol Spritz in a sunny piazza, each participant can create their own Italian adventure before regrouping for an evening together.
While in Breno, students may also visit the town’s historic castle, home to the renowned Domenighini Restaurant and Chef, and enjoy what many consider to be the best gelato in all of Valle Camonica at Gelato in Piazza, located right in Breno’s charming main square—a sweet reward after a day of music and exploration.
