Capri Art Music Festival "Antonino D'Emilio"
Great music in the most enchanting spots on the island of Capri
About Capri Art Music Festival
A festival between music and landscape
The Capri Art Music Festival "Antonino D'Emilio" is one of the most elegant musical events on the island of Capri, in the province of Naples, in the heart of Campania. Promoted by the Municipality of Capri's Department of Culture, the festival offers an annual cycle of concerts ranging from classical music to jazz, opera, and singer-songwriter performances, bringing national and international artists to some of the island's most beautiful vistas. The festival is dedicated to the memory of Antonino D'Emilio, a figure deeply connected to Capri's cultural life.
Concert venues
The heart of the event is the Belvedere di Tragara, a panoramic terrace overlooking the famous Faraglioni and the bay of Marina Piccola: at sunset, the music blends with the light fading over the sea, in a setting that the organizers describe as "a place unique in the world." Alongside Tragara, concerts also animate other historic spaces in the center of Capri, such as the former cathedral of Santo Stefano and the Evangelical Lutheran Church, offering the public intimate and cozy atmospheres.
The ninth edition (2026)
The 2026 season marks the ninth edition of the festival and confirms the formula that has ensured its success: high-quality concerts, often with free admission, capable of attracting both local enthusiasts and tourists. The program alternates chamber music groups, wind ensembles, and soloists, with a repertoire that combines great classics and more experimental pieces. The artistic direction curates a program designed to showcase both young talents and established names on the musical scene.
