Songwriting Camp 25 – the selections

Selections open for Songwriting Camp 2025 to be held as part of the Between Music & arts Festival.

In Piazza Armerina from July 22 to 27, 2025. An international training experience for songwriters and musicians.

The Camp will take place in Piazza Armerina, Sicily, in the heart of the Between Festival, and is an opportunity for artistic growth and international comparison under the banner of music, collaboration and creativity.

Participants will have the opportunity to work under the careful mentorship of industry experts – songwriters, composers, performers, sound engineers and producers – on the creation of a professional record product to be presented to producers and publishers on the Italian scene.

The specific focus of this edition is Mediterranean Music, in its broadest sense, beyond genre categories, leaving resident artists free to range from jazz to pop to electronic.

Participants also will have the opportunity to perform in a final concert as part of the official Between Festival program, in collaboration with BabelNova Orchestra (formerly the orchestra of Piazza vittorio).

Songwriting Camp 25 - le selezioni

The Festival

Between Music&Arts is the Mediterranean Festival in Sicily. Six days of concerts, performances, exhibitions, screenings, talks and workshops will enliven the wonderful sites of the Unesco site Parco Archeologico di Morgantina and Villa Romana del Casale and the four municipalities that are part of it: Piazza Armerina, Aidone, Mazzarino and Pietraperzia.

For this edition, the guest country of honor will be Tunisia, which will enrich the program with specific events and proposals.

One of the main new features is the introduction of film art. From 2025, the film festival “Tales from the Mediterranean” begins, which, along with the evening screenings of films, will offer opportunities to meet and discuss with directors and actors.

All workshops and residencies of the Mediterranean Artistic Production Campus will take place in the City of Piazza Armerina.

The project is made possible thanks to a network of prestigious collaborations: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Network of Italian Cultural Institutes Abroad, the MedFilm Festival in Rome and the Experimental Center of Cinematography.
