Consonances is the theme that inspires the 2026 Festival: an invitation to explore music as a space for encounter, dialogue, and continuous transformation. A program that intertwines genres, eras, and languages, transcending the boundaries between tradition and contemporaneity. The sounds of Dardust, hovering between neoclassical piano and electronics, engage in dialogue with Paolo Fresu's jazz tribute to David Bowie, while the National Symphony Orchestra of RAI renews a long-established collaboration and the return of the opera The Elixir of Love celebrates the great tradition.
Alongside the concerts, masterclasses and meetings with internationally renowned artists, including Giovanni Sollima and Emmanuel Pahud, confirm the international scope of the event. The journey is enhanced by the Music and Archaeology cycle, which relates historical heritage to musical language, with events also dedicated to visual arts, folklore, astronomy, and taste.
Thus, the Festival becomes a cultural experience that unites memory and innovation, capable of creating new connections and resonating, through music, the value of encounter.
Artistic direction: Alessandro Taverna
