Concert Season – Perugia Classical Music Foundation
Great chamber and symphonic music in the heart of Perugia
About Friends of Music of Perugia
A Centenary Musical Tradition
The Perugia Classical Music Foundation, heir to the historic Amici della Musica di Perugia association, organizes a rich concert season every year that brings great classical, chamber, ancient, and contemporary music to the Umbrian capital. An institution of reference for the cultural life of Perugia and the entire Umbria region.
The Venues of Music
The concerts are held in some of the most fascinating places in the city: the Auditorium San Francesco al Prato, a splendid space restored within the ancient church, and the refined Teatro del Pavone. The program alternates chamber orchestras, ensembles, and string quartets, with soloists and formations of international prestige.
Music for All Ages
Alongside the major concerts, the Foundation curates the Musical Mornings, part of the "Music to Grow" project, now in its twenty-fourth year, with musical performances designed for schools. Family Concerts and special initiatives introduce music to families and new generations, confirming the Foundation's educational and outreach mission.
