The unique venue for the masterclasses, which is set on the beach in a small fishing village on the Aegean sea helps to create a relaxed and magical atmosphere to counterbalance the often stressful environment of music conservatoires; teachers and students are encouraged to interact as much as possible, both musically and socially.

The Gumusluk Festival Academy began in 2006. Over the past twelve years over 1900 students have attended masterclasses in Piano, Violin, Viola, Flute, Cello, Double-Bass, Chamber music, Harp, Guitar, Oboe, Composition and Conducting.

Students have participated from both within Turkey and from countries around the world including Bulgaria, Georgia, Poland, Egypt, Russia, Croatia, UK, France, America, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Australia and Zimbabwe.
