International organ excellence in Collescipoli
The Hermans Festival is a series dedicated to organ music and early music that takes place in Collescipoli, an ancient hilltop village in the southern area of Terni. The festival revolves around the extraordinary historic organ built by Luca Neri in 1647, considered one of the jewels of Umbria's organ heritage, housed in the Collegiata di San Nicolò.
Promoted by the Hermans Academy, the festival is much more than a series of concerts: it is a true cultural stronghold that enhances the village of Collescipoli and its artistic treasures. The instrument that Mozart called the 'king of instruments' thus becomes the protagonist of a journey made up of concerts, vespers, and guided tours, capable of introducing a wide audience to the beauty of organ music.
Each edition attracts internationally renowned organists from various European countries, who explore a repertoire dedicated to sacred and early music composed for the organ. The festival is supported by the Fondazione Carit, the Fondazione Brunello e Federica Cucinelli, the Umbria Region, and the Municipality of Terni, confirming the value of this event for all of southern Umbria.
The XXIX edition of the Hermans Festival brought to Collescipoli, a hamlet of Terni, three historic organ concerts in the Collegiata di San Nicolò, on the instrument built by Luca Neri in 1647.
Performers of international caliber from various European countries took turns. The festival, organized by the Hermans Academy, has confirmed itself as a cultural stronghold for the territory, with the support of Fondazione Carit, Fondazione Brunello e Federica Cucinelli, the Umbria Region, and the Municipality of Terni.
All concerts on the historic organ Luca Neri (1647), one of the jewels of Umbria's organ heritage.
Collescipoli is a hilly hamlet south of Terni, reachable by car in a few minutes from the city center. Terni is connected by train and via the E45 and the Terni-Orte expressway. Concerts are held in the Collegiata di San Nicolò.
