Milan - Music: Voice, Composition & Instrumental

Program Overview

From ancient Ambrosian Chants to cutting-edge multi-media installations, Italy has always been at the forefront of musical innovation. As a music student in Milan, you have the opportunity to work with world-class musicians, soak-up the local music scene, perform at a variety of venues, and attend a wide variety of performances.

Whether you're fluent in Italian or you can only say ciao, you'll be welcomed with open arms by the IES Abroad Milan Center staff. At the Center, you will find a program with a full range of opportunities for instrumentalists, vocalists, composers, and performance majors, in partnership with both the Civica Scuola di Musica, the Conservatorio G. Verdi, and the Milano Classica Chamber Orchestra (spring only).

In Milan, you get an education tailored specifically to your musical needs and interests. Enjoy being surrounded by some of the world's top musicians and educators—including the Center Director who is an active composer and music scholar whose pieces are performed worldwide!

Why Milan?

Think of your study abroad experience as a song—what will be the inspiration? See "The Last Supper," one of the most influential works of the Renaissance. Witness some of the world's finest performers at Teatro alla Scala, the world-renowned opera house in Milan. Observe fashion executives to see how successful businesses are run. No matter what you choose, your Milanese experience with IES Abroad will come together to make the perfect symphony.

Student Life

We strive to make sure you feel safe, cared for, and at home while you’re away from home.

Learn more about the day-to-day studying abroad on this program. From field trips to housing, it’s all on IES Abroad’s website.
