Music Festival - Valdinievole Music Academy

The Music Festival in Monsummano Terme

The Music Festival is a national event that celebrates the summer solstice every year on June 21st, filling streets, squares, and parks across Italy with free concerts. In Monsummano Terme, in the heart of the Valdinievole area in the province of Pistoia, the event is organized by the Valdinievole Music Academy, a local music school offering courses in instruments, singing, and choirs for both children and adults.

An evening in the park of Villa Renatico Martini

The chosen setting is one of the city's most beautiful: the Parco di Villa Renatico Martini, home to the MAC,n - Museum of Contemporary and 20th Century Art. Here, amidst the greenery of the historic garden, teachers and students of the Academy take to the stage to accompany the audience toward the longest night of the year. The evening, with free admission, combines the school's educational dimension with a popular festival atmosphere, giving space to young musicians from the Valdinievole area.

Classical music, film scores, and choral singing

The program ranges from classical repertoire and film soundtracks to orchestral pieces and choral singing, in line with the Academy's vocation and the shared spirit of the national festival. In 2026, the Music Festival reaches its 32nd edition with the theme The Voice of Places, dedicated to the relationship between territories, communities, and artistic production, and the value of choral singing as an expression of identity.

A community event

More than just a standalone concert, the Music Festival in Monsummano Terme is an opportunity for the Valdinievole community to meet: families, enthusiasts, and curious visitors gather in the park to listen to great music outdoors in a relaxed atmosphere accessible to everyone. It is also a showcase for the Academy's work and the artistic heritage preserved in the villa and its museum.
