The Ticino Musica Festival returns to the most beautiful venues in Italian-speaking Switzerland with a 28th edition that will bring fans and the curious alike to discover suggestive locations in and around Ticino to the sound of music.
The inaugural event - the premiere of Gaetano Donizetti's opera "Rita," to be held in the Aula magna of the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana on the evening of July 18 - will open the dances of a program that counts more than 70 events, including opera repeats (Magliaso, Sorengo, LAC, Gazzada (IT), Novaggio, Bellinzona, Locarno), solo and chamber music recitals, concerts by great and young masters, international competition winners and ensembles in residence.
The soul of Ticino Musica, i.e., the musicians who participate in it, are divided between artists and teachers of international stature confronting young musicians on their way to the profession. The meeting and confrontation between these two categories of performers, in a context straddling educational and artistic experience, allows the audience and the participants themselves the opportunity to have an all-round musical experience.
