I am deeply saddened by the fact that this year I won\u2019t be meeting the students, the colleagues and the amazing staff that have all become such a beloved part of my summer.&nbsp; While we wait to meet again next time I want to celebrate Beethoven\u2019s anniversary with a lied recorded in my living room all the way back in Italy, with Fabio Galessi playing the piano. Again looking forward to next time I want to greet you all with Beethoven\u2019s words: Ich Liebe Dich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gemma Bertagnolli<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Soprano \/ Participated every year since the 34th (2013) Kusatsu International Summer Music Academy &amp; Festival.<br>Her career has already taken her to major Opera Houses and Concert Halls including the Teatro La Scala, the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es and others.
