Musical Afternoons and Music Outside the Centre: a season of classical, jazz, and world 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.
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.
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.
All events offer free admission until seats are filled, confirming the festival's aim to spread musical culture among all citizens of Legnano.
From February to June 2026, the Municipality of Legnano presents Legnano in Musica, with concerts held throughout the city. Alongside the Musical Afternoons dedicated to young talents, Music Outside the Centre debuts, bringing music to the neighbourhoods with a journey through blues, jazz, and world music.
Four concerts featuring young winners of the Sioli Prize: opera arias, piano recitals, and contemporary chamber ensembles.
The series alternates in-depth talks and concerts the following day:
The events take place at the Visconti Castle (Previati Hall, Gelsi Courtyard), the Bonvesin and Rodari Auditoriums, the Olmina Parish, and various city churches (S. Pietro, San Giovanni, SS. Redentore). The detailed schedule with dates and performers is published on the Municipality of Legnano website.
