About Bisceglie in Musica
Bisceglie in Musica: great live music at Teatro Garibaldi
Bisceglie in Musica is the concert season that lights up the stage of the Teatro Garibaldi in Bisceglie, an elegant historic venue overlooking the Adriatic Sea. The festival is the result of a partnership between the ICO Orchestra of the Magna Grecia and the Municipality of Bisceglie, confirming the cultural growth of this town in the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani, Puglia.
A festival spanning diverse genres and styles
The program runs from February to May, featuring a series of events that weave together classical music, singer-songwriter performances, opera, and contemporary influences. The ICO Orchestra of the Magna Grecia, one of the most active concert-orchestral institutions in Southern Italy, accompanies renowned soloists and performers on stage, exploring a wide range of repertoires and artistic sensibilities.
- Jazz, soul, and the great Italian tradition with Raphael Gualazzi;
- A dialogue between zarzuela and opera, featuring international operatic voices;
- A tribute to Fryderyk Chopin performed by solo piano;
- The tango of Astor Piazzolla in a show blending music, dance, and spoken word;
- A tribute to Domenico Modugno, a son of Puglia, featuring the voice of Mario Incudine.
Teatro Garibaldi, the cultural heart of Bisceglie
The evenings take place at Teatro Garibaldi, a historic city venue that has returned to being a landmark for local musical life. The season's format, offering both single tickets and subscriptions, brings the public closer to symphonic and chamber music in an intimate and refined setting, where live listening becomes an immersive experience.
Bisceglie, between sea and culture
A city of ancient origins, Bisceglie combines a white-stone historic center, a picturesque harbor, and a coastline beloved by visitors. The Bisceglie in Musica festival is part of an increasingly rich cultural calendar, offering residents and tourists a chance to experience Puglia even out of season, through the quality of live music and the charm of one of the area's most evocative theaters.
