May in Music — Municipality 9
Free classical music concerts in the church of Santa Maria del Buon Consiglio, Bovisa
About May in Music
Cultured Music in the Suburbs
May in Music is the series of concerts that the Municipality 9 of the City of Milan (Lombardy) dedicates to classical music, in the Bovisa district. The venue is the church of Santa Maria del Buon Consiglio (via Ercole Ricotti 10), which with its acoustics and its organ offers the ideal setting for the great sacred and instrumental repertoire.
Three Evenings, Great Composers
The heart of the series are three free concerts that range across the great names of classical music: from Johann Sebastian Bach to Felix Mendelssohn, from Franz Liszt to Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. The programs particularly enhance organ music, alongside moments of reflection and meditation, in evenings designed for a broad and curious audience.
Proximity Culture
May in Music is an example of how high-level culture can take root in Milan's neighborhoods, far from the grand halls of the center. Organized by Municipality 9, the series brings classical music to an area, Bovisa, marked in recent years by significant urban and university transformations, offering residents an opportunity for free, quality listening.
