Festival della Musica Libera

Chamber music in the open air

The Festival della Musica Libera is one of the events that enlivens Trieste's summer as part of the Trieste Estate programme, promoted by the Municipality of Trieste. Curated by the Associazione Musica Libera, the festival offers chamber music concerts and moments of listening and sound experimentation in some of the city's most evocative locations.

Between gardens and civic museums

The main venue is the Sartorio Museum Garden, but the festival also moves through public gardens and the courtyards of civic museums, transforming listening into an experience immersed in greenery and historical architecture. The repertoire ranges from chamber music classics to more refined and contemporary proposals, with incursions into the great names of the 20th century.

Free and open listening

True to its name and the spirit of Trieste Estate, the festival maintains an accessible approach: concerts are designed for a wide audience and admission is generally free. It's an opportunity to discover quality performers in an intimate setting, far from the formality of the concert hall.

Trieste, a city of music

In a city that has always thrived on Mitteleuropean culture and great musical traditions, the Festival della Musica Libera helps make the Trieste summer a widespread stage, where music leaves the theatres and reaches the parks and courtyards of the city centre.
