Armonie della Sera: music in villages and historic sites

Armonie della Sera marks its 22nd edition with a series of concerts held in villages, castles, churches and historic theatres. The festival aims to bring high-quality music back to historic centres, showcasing both international names and promising young performers from local conservatories.

Venues and format

The season spans evocative locations such as the Colle dell'Infinito in Recanati, the Monastery of Fonte Avellana, the Imperial Basilica of Santa Croce in Sant'Elpidio a Mare, and numerous squares and villas along the Marche coast.
