Since 2001, the German 'Hochschule für Musik und Tanz' has used the Palazzo Ricci, in the heart of the town of Montepulciano in southern Tuscany, to host the European Academy of Music and Arts. The film gives a summary of this only German project in Italy which concentrates entirely on music. It presents young and talented artists from all over the world, working together in a stimulating environment, participating in master classes with internationally acclaimed teachers and famous musicians.
