About Concertando tra i Leoni

Concertando tra i Leoni is the classical music festival that enchants one of Albenga's most evocative locations at the end of August: the intimate Piazza dei Leoni, in the heart of the medieval historic center. Four evenings of concerts organized by the Albenga section of UCAI, under the artistic direction of Giovanni Sardo, transform this hidden corner of the city of towers into a stage of great charm under the stars of the Riviera di Ponente.

Classical Music in Albenga's Secret Courtyard

In the heart of the historic center of Albenga (Province of Savona) lies one of the citizens' most beloved spots: Piazza dei Leoni, small and intimate, home to three stone lions of Roman origin. This is where, every late August, Concertando tra i Leoni takes place, a classical music festival that leverages the extraordinary acoustics and intimate atmosphere of this place.

Four Evenings Under the Stars

The festival features four evenings of concerts, organized by the Albenga section of UCAI (Unione Cattolica Artisti Italiani - Catholic Union of Italian Artists) under the artistic direction of Giovanni Sardo. The classical repertoire finds an ideal setting in the medieval square, creating a dialogue between music and historical architecture that is the hallmark of the event.

A Highlight of the Ingaun Summer

Included in the Municipality of Albenga's summer calendar, Concertando tra i Leoni represents the dedicated event for classical music within the city's rich program, alongside the Palio Storico, Albenga d'Autore, and the Albenga Jazz Festival. It's an offering that enhances a hidden and precious gem in the historic center of the Riviera di Ponente.
