A series of new programs at Berklee's campus in Valencia, Spain will provide students with a chance to live the Berklee experience for a few days this summer. And musicians in Chile and Brazil will have an opportunity to earn scholarships, thanks to a new partnership between Berklee and Lollapalooza festivals in those two countries.

There will be four programs:

Singer-Songwriter and Vocalist Program (July 3-5)
Berklee Groove School (July 6–9)
Art of Improvisation: Blues and Jazz (July 10–14)
Re:Tool - Music Technology in Performance and Production (July 14-16)

Berklee's partnership with the groundbreaking Lollapalooza festivals in Santiago, Chile and Sao Paulo, Brazil mark an exciting new chapter in the way the college helps make contemporary music education more affordable. Berklee will support education initiatives at the festivals to be held in Sao Paulo and Santiago, and the festivals will support scholarship awards for students from Brazil and Chile to attend the summer programs to be held in Valencia.

The news follows the establishment of the Berklee Lollapalooza Endowed Scholarship last year.

Please visit the summer programs section of our website later this week to learn more about applying for admission and scholarships to the Berklee in Valencia summer programs.
