Become
a Patron


MARTHA’s Academy is a place where young musicians from all over Italy and abroad find a unique environment to grow, perfect themselves and build their artistic future.
Starting today, you can become an active part of this vision: the “Become a Maecenas” campaign is born , an open invitation to those who believe in the value of music, culture and talent.
Since 2022, we have created an international community of great artists and teachers in Palermo in order to be able to offer fundamental opportunities to young musicians who too often have to leave Sicily to progress in their training. A unique reality in southern Italy that attracts students from other parts of the country and even from abroad.
To become an artist, talent is not enough. Students often need concrete support.
MARTHA launches campaign Become a Maecenas as a concrete gesture to support young artists, pursuing its mission: to create an international network of artists, musicians, citizens and companies to nurture the cultural scene in the city of Palermo.

Becoming a patron means supporting a dream.
It means helping talent find space, tools, listening.
It means being an active part of a cultural project that believes in excellence and sharing by investing in Sicily.
But not only that!
In fact, becoming a patron also means becoming part of the MARTHA community and in direct relationship with a musician, following him or her on his or her journey: taking classes, attending concerts, celebrating milestones whenever you want at the MARTHA venue.
what students say
Attending this Master's program would give me high-level teachers and flutists to learn from, friends and companions to share the journey together, and important tools to manage a career as a professional musician. This Master's degree is what I need to take me to the next level, or perhaps directly to the last.
Martha Academy seems to be a perfect setting for the blossoming of aspiring artists.
The team of guitar teachers particularly attracts me because of their qualities as artists, performers and pedagogue. Joining the academy to enjoy a different setting from the Conservatory that would be of great help to me in the development of my career and my artistic identity
The thing that struck me about this master's program is the extraordinary combination of artists, workshops, services and opportunities. A comprehensive course that brings together all the needs of an artist. Three fabulous teachers, interesting seminars and all in a wonderful location like Palermo.
Attending this one-year course is a key step toward achieving my future goals: getting a job as a solo cello player in an orchestra and expanding my network of professional contacts.
would like to attend this course because I want to continue training myself as a cellist, and it seems like a great opportunity for me work with great professionals from different schools of Italy, allowing me to see different ways of teaching, creating, exploring and evolving, and in addition to all that, other workshops and experiences that not only will allow me to expand my knowledge and my motivations in the musical field but also in personal growth
I wish to attend the one-year cello course at the "Martha" Academy to improve and refine my technical skills on the instrument, enrich my interpretive knowledge and deepen my musical repertoire. In addition, I am motivated to seize the opportunity to compare and exchange experiences with high-profile teachers and students from different backgrounds, with a view to future entry into the professional world. I am convinced that this experience can contribute significantly to my artistic and personal growth
The opportunity to meet masters of this level in Palermo is something new, plus I seriously want to bet on my future and such a path seems like a good step forward.
After my Master Diploma I still want to learn, and this is a great opportunity to learn from the greatest!
I would love to attend this master's program as I consider it an excellent educational experience on a musical and personal level. It would be an honor to work with masters of such caliber who are certainly able to pass on their professional experience. The opportunity to participate in the concert activity that this master's program offers would be an excellent educational experience for me that would enrich my cultural background
