This year, the Brera district, with its history and artistic charm, will be one of the pulsating hearts of this extraordinary event.
Piano City Milano is one of the city’s most anticipated and beloved cultural events, a festival that transforms Milan into an open-air stage for hundreds of pianists from around the world. Since its inception in 2012, Piano City Milano has captivated audiences with its innovative format: bringing classical and contemporary music out of concert halls and into the city’s most evocative locations. Gardens, courtyards, museums, and even private homes become improvised theatres, creating a unique and immersive musical experience.
Brera, one of Milan’s most enchanting districts, known for its bohemian atmosphere and as the nerve centre of the city’s artistic and cultural life, is the ideal place to host the events of Piano City Milano. With its narrow cobbled streets, historic buildings, and the presence of the prestigious Pinacoteca di Brera, it offers an inspiring setting for the festival.
During the festival, Brera will host a series of concerts in prestigious locations. The Pinacoteca di Brera, with its collections of Renaissance and modern art, will be one of the main venues. Here, visitors can enjoy piano performances in a context of immense artistic value.
Another significant venue will be the CAM Garibaldi, a cultural centre in the district. The CAM Garibaldi will host a variety of initiatives, including piano concerts that will cater to diverse musical tastes. The centre’s welcoming environment makes it an excellent spot for both intimate performances and larger gatherings, fostering a sense of community and engagement among attendees.
The programme of Piano City Milano in Brera will be rich and varied, ranging from the great classics of piano music to contemporary compositions. There will be tributes to the great masters of the past, as well as performances by emerging artists bringing freshness and innovation.
Special attention will be given to young talents, with concerts featuring the best students from Milan’s music academies. This unique opportunity allows audiences to discover the new promises of music and appreciate the passion and dedication of young musicians.
In addition to concerts, Piano City Milano in Brera will also offer moments of interaction with the public. Workshops, open lessons, and meetings with artists will allow participants to deepen their knowledge of the piano and music in general. These activities will help create an atmosphere of sharing and participation, making the festival an even more engaging experience.
Piano City Milano is not just a musical event, but a true celebration of culture and art. The Brera district, with its history and beauty, is the perfect stage for this extraordinary festival. An unmissable appointment for all music lovers and anyone wishing to experience Milan in a different way, carried away by the notes of a piano.
