Musica al Museo — Chiostro Albini degli Eremitani
Chamber concerts at sunset in the cloister of the Civic Museums of Padua
About Musica al Museo
Music inhabits the Eremitani cloister
Musica al Museo is a series of chamber concerts held in the evocative Albini Cloister of the Civic Museums at the Eremitani, in the heart of Padua. Curated by the Friends of Music of Padua, the series brings live music to one of the most intimate and fascinating spaces of the city's museum complex, on Thursday evenings that combine culture, architecture, and listening.
Uncommon ensembles and refined repertoire
The programming is distinguished by the choice of uncommon chamber ensembles and a repertoire that alternates ancient music with that of the 20th century and contemporary. Renaissance lute, wind ensembles, solo cello: each concert is a carefully curated listening experience, far from big names and mass programming, designed for those seeking quality and discovery.
An event accessible to all
The concerts begin at 6:00 PM, at sunset, and have a symbolic ticket price of €5, with mandatory booking. In case of rain, the events move to the Sala Romanino of the museum. An opportunity to experience Padua's artistic heritage through music, in a format that links the listening of great chamber music to the beauty of the Civic Museums at the Eremitani.
