"It was like a dream that you cannot get out of your head. A beautiful one, where you start believing more in yourself and motivate yourself more. Issigeac for me was like family time combined with hard and serious work” Eduardo

Miranda
My time at Issigeac was extremely fruitful, I gained invaluable knowledge and experience under the guidance of the incredible Nelly Miricioiu. The whole team were so supportive and made sure we had everything we needed. Our accommodation was incredible and our surroundings were nothing short of inspiring! Best of all, there was great camaraderie amongst us singers and some lifelong friendships were forged!
