About Legnano in Musica

From February to June, Legnano comes alive with concerts thanks to Legnano in Musica, the Municipality's event that combines two complementary programmes. The Musical Afternoons, now in its fourth season, highlights young talents who have won the Sioli Prize, featuring opera arias, piano performances, and contemporary ensembles. The new Music Outside the Centre series, on the other hand, brings blues, jazz, and world music to various locations in the city, from the Visconti Castle to neighbourhood churches, often preceded by in-depth talks. All concerts offer free admission.

Two programmes, one season of music

Legnano in Musica is the musical project promoted by the Municipality of Legnano (Province of Milan) which brings together, from February to June, two distinct but complementary programmes. An initiative designed to bring live music - both classical and popular - to the most beautiful places in the city of Alto Milanese.

Musical Afternoons

Now in its fourth season, Musical Afternoons is dedicated to young talents, particularly the winners of the Sioli Prize. The programme alternates opera arias, piano recitals, and contemporary chamber ensembles, offering a high-level showcase for emerging performers.

Music Outside the Centre

The novelty is the Music Outside the Centre series, which moves away from traditional venues to reach the neighbourhoods and hamlets of Legnano. The music ranges from blues to jazz to world music (with unexpected incursions like Chinese guzheng). Each concert is often preceded by an introductory talk, led by scholars and musicians such as philosopher Carlo Serra and guitarist Enrico Merlin, to enhance the listening experience.

The venues for music

  • Visconti Castle (Previati Hall, Gelsi Courtyard)
  • Bonvesin and Rodari Auditoriums
  • City churches (San Pietro, San Giovanni, SS. Redentore, Olmina)

All events offer free admission until seats are filled, confirming the festival's aim to spread musical culture among all citizens of Legnano.

Legnano in Musica — edition 2026

From February to June 2026, the Municipality of Legnano presents Legnano in Musica, with concerts held throughout the city.
