Musicans - travelling to Albania?

Not only is Albania a stunningly beautiful country but in the capital Tirana you will be sure to find a bunch of friendly musicians. The Akademie e Arteve (Academy of Arts, or Conservatoire) is at one end of the imposing boulevard right in the centre of the city.
There's a cafe outside on the south side where students and their professors hang out to talk and drink coffee between sessions. Anyone can sit at a table and say to someone nearby 'any horn players about?' Before long you'll be sure to have found a gang, and be drinking toasts. telling jokes and swapping stories.

The Rehearsal Orchestra is a musical charity that runs weekend and full-week orchestral courses for future professionals and serious amateurs. Since 1957, they have offered high-level training through intensive rehearsal, exploring key orchestral repertoire with prominent conductors, and professional string section leaders. This supportive, non-competitive environment allows players to grow as musicians without the pressure of concert giving. Places on every course are heavily subsidised to enable as many players as possible to benefit from the opportunities they offer.
