Easter Monday in Udine: art and music at the civic museums

This year Udine’s museums present a special Easter Monday program with extended openings, musical performances and family-friendly events. The focus is on the Castle museums, the Ethnographic Museum of Friuli and Casa Cavazzini.

Musical program at the Castle

The "Musica & Musei" series turns the Galleria d’Arte Antica into a dispersed stage. The afternoon schedule includes classical and traditional repertoire:

• 2:30 PM (repeat at 4:00 PM): accordion and flute duo performing works by Debussy, Mozart and Bach;
• 3:00 PM and 4:30 PM: solo piano performances;
• 3:30 PM and 5:00 PM: "Dialects in Music" in the rooms dedicated to Guido Guidi, exploring folk traditions and singer-songwriter pieces;
• finale at 6:15 PM in the Castle square, at the Casa della Contadinanza.

Free admission to the Castle concerts.

Itinerant concerts at the Ethnographic Museum

On via Grazzano the programme features "Parole indomite" with an ensemble of three cellos and a voice blending jazz and folk influences from border cultures. Performances are scheduled at 11:30 AM, 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM. Seating is limited, so booking is recommended.

Casa Cavazzini: international Impressionism exhibition

Casa Cavazzini hosts "Impressionism and Modernity, Kunst Museum Winterthur", open also over Easter and Easter Monday. The exhibition displays 84 masterpieces by artists such as Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Picasso, Kandinsky and Magritte, and runs until August 30. It offers a wide-ranging cultural itinerary to pair with the musical events.
