ARS MANUUM – Piano and Pianist Festival

ARS MANUUM in 2025: the festival had not yet been born

There is no 2025 edition of ARS MANUUM – Piano and Pianist Festival. The event debuted in Rome, in the Lazio region, in the spring of 2026, with its main venue at the Teatro In Portico in Garbatella and an inaugural concert at the Church of Santa Galla.

In 2025, the Associazione Auditorium, which promotes the festival, carried out other musical initiatives in Rome—including the «Concerti in Sagrestia» cycle—alongside its activities in Puglia and summer masterclasses. It was in that context that the idea of a monographic festival on the piano was defined, capable of bringing together solo recitals, four- and eight-hand ensembles, and repertoire for historical keyboards. Those looking for the most recent edition can refer to the 2026 program, the first chapter of the festival.
