20 Years of Music

We are thrilled to welcome mandolin phenomenon Avi Avital for his festival debut, featuring the Italian premiere of Avner Dorman's concerto. Andrea Griminelli, whose enchanting performances have become a cherished highlight of our festival, returns by popular demand! 

Following the tremendous success of our inaugural masterclasses in 2024, we're proud to feature two exceptional concerts where our talented young students perform alongside their illustrious mentors: David Geringas and Jing Zhao (cello), Pierre-Henri Xuereb (viola), Silvia Marcovici, Pavel Berman, and Eva Bindere (violin).

Here in Pietrasanta, this dynamic alliance between tomorrow's virtuosi and today's maestri flourishes—the essence of our vision and our commitment to classical music's vibrant future at Pietrasanta and around the world.

Join the festival

You have a choice of buying your tickets(s) either online or from one of the points of sale in Pietrasanta. You may prefer the online option if you are planning your evening(s) ahead of time or if you are simply not based in Pietrasanta.

And of course it’d guarantee your attendance as the cloister has a limited number of seats, in particular during these challenging times.
