Festival Organistico Internazionale di Cavallino-Treporti
Organ concerts in the historic churches of the Venetian coast
About Festival Organistico Internazionale
The organ at the heart of the coast
The Festival Organistico Internazionale of Cavallino-Treporti, in the province of Venice, was founded to enhance the great Venetian organ tradition and the valuable instruments housed in the churches of the area. The festival has established itself as a benchmark in the Italian and European musical scene dedicated to the organ.
Two churches, two Bazzani organs
The concerts are held in the Archpriestal Church of Santissima Trinità in Treporti and the Church of Santa Maria Elisabetta in Cavallino. Both house highly valuable instruments from the Pietro Bazzani school: a 19th-century organ and a restored 18th-century organ, the true protagonists of the festival.
An international program
The festival alternates internationally renowned organists with young Italian talents, with a program that spans organ literature from ancient to contemporary music. The artistic direction is entrusted to Roberto Bertuzzi, with the coordination of the Associazione Turia Battistella and the promotion of the Municipality along with local parishes.
Music for everyone
The concerts, with free admission subject to availability, offer residents and tourists of the Venetian coast an opportunity to discover the area's organ heritage in highly evocative settings.
