The Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance (LAMP) operates under the umbrella of the Rossini Opera Festival Nova Scotia, a registered charity under the Canadian Income Tax Act. Lamp is an international center for advanced studies in performance and interpretation. Like the gifted young artists we nurture, Lamp is propelled by passion and ambition. In a short time, Lamp has emerged as one of the most progressive and credible music institutions in Canada. The number of emerging artists is very limited guaranteeing an extraordinary artistic level and the intense and constant interaction with many of the world's most versatile and accomplished performing artists results in an unparalleled concert lineup. The Lamp Recital Hall has become one of the most innovative and exciting performing venues in Canada offering a wide range of live performances from early music to contemporary and every thing in between. Lamp offers programs in opera (specializing in French opera and above all the works of G. Rossini), voice, strings, piano, chamber music, early music, world/jazz and composition.
