About Filarmonica Laudamo Season
One of Italy's oldest concert seasons
The Filarmonica Laudamo is one of the oldest and most prestigious musical institutions in Messina, Sicily. Its concert activity dates back to the early 20th century, making it one of the longest-running concert societies in Italy. Each year, the association presents a new season that, from autumn to spring, takes the Messina audience on a long journey through great masterpieces of the repertoire and more contemporary sounds.
Where and when
Concerts are held at the Palacultura Antonello da Messina, in the heart of the city. The schedule is divided into two weekly appointments: the Sunday concerts at 6:00 PM, dedicated to the great classical and chamber repertoire, and the Thursday evening series, at 7:00 PM, titled Accordi_Acorde, which is reserved for new musical languages and experimental proposals.
A program that spans genres
The programming is intentionally diverse: chamber music (string quartets, piano trios, wind quintets), solo recitals (piano, violin, cello, and guitar), orchestral concerts with ensembles from the Arcangelo Corelli Conservatory of Messina, as well as evenings dedicated to jazz, film music, and tributes. A formula that has always sought to combine the European symphonic and chamber tradition with an open eye toward the present.
Deep local roots
Beyond the quality of its Italian and international guests, the Filarmonica Laudamo stands out for its strong bond with the Messina area. Collaborations with local schools and institutions, educational projects, and initiatives aimed at young people make the season not just a concert series, but a true musical and cultural laboratory for the city of Messina, the capital of the province of the same name in Sicily.
Who is it for?
- Classical and chamber music enthusiasts.
- Audiences curious about new languages and cross-genre contamination (jazz, film scores).
- Young people and students, thanks to educational projects and collaborations with the Conservatory.
- Visitors staying in Messina during the autumn and winter months.
