XVII International Festival "Alessandria Barocca e non solo..." 2026

Different locations | Musical

From 7 June 2026 to 8 November 2026

7 June - 8 November thirteen events of early music, a rich repertoire, and concert-storytelling events in the historic sites of Alessandria and its province.

XVII Festival Internazionale di Musica Alessandria Barocca e non solo...

Description

Now in its seventeenth edition, the Festival confirms its artistic identity: on the one hand,
the promotion of early music performed according to historically informed practices, and on the other,
the dialogue with repertoire from Classicism to the twentieth century and contemporary times, in a perspective
open to the fusion of arts and languages.

There will be 13 events scheduled, spread between June and November, hosted in churches,
historic halls, institutional buildings, and places of particular artistic value in Alessandria and its province, in a
journey that will combine Baroque music, chamber music, narrated concerts, and interdisciplinary
dialogues between words, images, and sound.
