Creating the next generation of great performers.

The Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance (LAMP) -previously Rossini Opera Festival Nova Scotia-a registered charity under the Canadian Income Tax Act.

LAMP is a centre for advanced studies in performance and interpretation where extraordinary in house concerts are produced. LAMP’s Recital Hall has become one of the most innovative and exciting concert venues in Canada.

Our primary mission is to shape, influence and forge the next generation of outstanding performing artists within the walls of a Canadian architectural treasure. Our mission is achieved by providing carefully selected young artists with proven talent and ambition the career changing opportunity to be mentored by and perform with many of the most sought after and influential artists of our time.

LAMP exists to provide emerging artists a multidisciplinary environment where they can explore the creation and performance of new works and the reinvention and re-offering of conventional works.

Each year LAMP offers several one to two week academies that include chamber music, early music, new music/composition, opera, voice, world and jazz. We also offer Emerging Artist Residencies and fully funded Fellowship residencies offered to extraordinarily talented musicians.
