DeMusicAssisi Winter Edition

A dive into the Middle Ages during the holidays

The DeMusicAssisi Winter Edition is the winter version of the medieval music festival in Assisi (province of Perugia, in Umbria). Between late December and early January, the historic center of the city of Saint Francis comes alive with a medieval Christmas repertoire: bagpipers, polyphony, and sacred lauds, in a journey that combines devotion, popular tradition, and musical research.

Concerts, lauds, and banquets

The program offers free admission concerts in various locations in the historic center, with a repertoire focused on medieval Christmas music: from 15th-century polyphony to lauds. There is also the "medieval banquet," a convivial moment that reconstructs the atmosphere of holidays past, alongside early music courses and activities offered by Accademia Resonars.

Assisi between history and celebration

The winter edition complements the DeMusicAssisi project, which in summer brings ancient music to the city's palaces and churches. In winter, the festival connects with the Christmas atmosphere, offering residents and visitors an original and evocative way to experience the holidays in the unique setting of Assisi, under the direction of the Accademia d'arti antiche Resonars.
