Dear music lover,

Summer is still far away, yet we are already looking forward to welcoming you to Tuscany for the 25th edition of our festival! Discover details of the 2025 programme below.


 

The programme is varied and includes a dozen concerts of instrumental and vocal music, from Renaissance to contemporary. Talent, passion and beauty are the common thread among the artists on the more than captivating programm.


 

After opening and closing concerts in Asciano or after the concert in the beautiful monastery of Sant’Anna in Camprena, you can dine together with the musicians and the audience present and enjoy some unforgettable summer evenings in the authentic atmosphere of the Crete Senesi!

See you then! A presto!
