Lucignano Music Festival

For the past four years, the Lucignano Music Festival has been a small friendly coterie of great artists - including guitarist Giampaolo Bandini, Cesare Chiacchiaretta's bandoneon, pianists Massimiliano Génot and Hiroko Sakagami - united for a few days in one of Italy's best-preserved medieval fortified villages, whose characteristic elliptical structure of concentric annular streets seems in itself a metaphor for recollection and welcome.

The IV edition of Lucignano Music Festival will be held from September 25 to 28. 

Great chamber musicians of the stature of violist Jürg Dähler or cellist Patrick Demenga join important artistic realities of the area, such as the Soloists of the Perugia Chamber Orchestra or actor and director of film, theater and television Francesco Bolo Rossini, always on layouts of rare originality. 
Great classics such as Paganini, Schubert, Piazzolla, Prokofiev or Debussy dialogue with contemporary composers of solid international reputation but almost never represented in Italy, such as Finnish Grammy Award winner Kaija Saariaho, the cellist and composer formerly performed at the Berlin Philharmonie Alfred Felder, or very rare historical pages such as those of the 19th-century Swedish violinist and composer Amanda Maier, who died at only 41 years old and whose complete catalog of compositions has yet to be investigated, or, again, the 18th-century Englishman Joseph Gibbs.
