About Albino Classica

Now in its twenty-fifth year, Albino Classica is one of the longest-running classical music festivals in the Val Seriana, in the province of Bergamo. The event brings high-level concerts and musical conferences to the most evocative churches and locations in the area. Among its events, the prestigious Basilica of San Martino in Alzano Lombardo hosts evenings dedicated to the great repertoire, from Baroque to contemporary. Promoted by the Carlo Antonio Marino Cultural Association, it is a point of reference for lovers of cultured music in the Bergamo area.

A quarter of a century of great music

Albino Classica celebrates twenty-five years of activity, establishing itself as one of the leading classical music festivals in the Val Seriana, in the province of Bergamo. The event, promoted by the Carlo Antonio Marino Cultural Association, offers a repertoire ranging from traditional classical music to contemporary, with quality concerts and musical conferences.

The Basilica of San Martino as a stage

Among the most evocative venues of the festival is the Basilica of San Martino in Alzano Lombardo, a masterpiece of Lombard Baroque architecture, famous for its wooden sacristies carved by the Fantoni family. In this extraordinary setting, some of the most anticipated concerts of the event take place, where the acoustics and beauty of the place amplify the emotion of listening.

Dedicated to the territory

Albino Classica involves several municipalities in the valley and collaborates with local choral and musical groups. The festival is named after Carlo Antonio Marino, a composer and violinist from Bergamo active between the 17th and 18th centuries, testifying to the deep connection between the event and the musical tradition of the Orobic territory.

An event for lovers of cultured music

For those visiting Val Seriana, Albino Classica offers the opportunity to combine listening to great music with the discovery of the artistic heritage of the Bergamo area, particularly its Baroque churches. Concerts are often free admission.
