Giuseppe Gagliardi Spring Concert

A concert that celebrates community

The Giuseppe Gagliardi Spring Concert is one of the most anticipated musical events in Spinazzola, a town in the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani (known as the BAT) in Apulia. Every year, the Sala Innocenzo XII opens its doors for an evening that weaves together music and memory: the event is dedicated to the legacy of Giuseppe Gagliardi, a local entrepreneur who was deeply committed to the town's life and cultural growth.

Organizers and purpose

The event is the result of a collaboration between the Municipality of Spinazzola, the Innocenzo XII Music Academy, and the Gagliardi family, who renew their commitment year after year, turning it into a consolidated tradition. It is no coincidence that both the academy and the hall hosting the concert are named after Innocenzo XII, born Antonio Pignatelli, the Pope who hailed from Spinazzola: a bond that links the town's religious and civic history with its contemporary musical life.

A diverse program

The concert is not limited to a single genre: the stage of the Sala Innocenzo XII features a variety of soloists, instrumental ensembles, and choral groups, ranging from classical music to pop repertoire, and from polyphony to performances by the academy's youngest students. This approach makes the evening accessible to everyone, from families to music enthusiasts, while highlighting the educational work of the local academy.

• Vocal and instrumental soloists from the Apulian region
• Chamber groups and ensembles
• Polyphonic choirs and children's choirs associated with the academy
• A repertoire alternating between classical pieces and popular favorites

Spinazzola and its identity

Nestled between the Murgia and the Tavoliere, Spinazzola is a town in the Apulian hinterland rich in history. The Spring Concert represents a moment when the community comes together, uniting the memory of a beloved local figure with the joy of live music. For those visiting the BAT region in spring, it is an opportunity to discover an authentic event, far from the mainstream circuits but deeply felt and supported by the locals.
