About Musica in Corte

Musica in Corte is the concert series that opens the doors of Crema's historic palaces and courtyards, normally closed to the public, to host great chamber music performers. Under the artistic direction of violinist Alessio Bidoli, six free concerts combine top-level music with the enhancement of the city's architectural heritage, in the province of Cremona.

Music enters the palaces of Crema

Musica in Corte is the festival that transforms the historic palaces and courtyards of Crema into exceptional concert halls every year. Residences normally closed to the public open their doors to host internationally renowned performers, in a blend of great music and the enhancement of the architectural heritage of the city of Crema, in the province of Cremona.

A prestigious artistic direction

The festival is curated by violinist Alessio Bidoli, who brings a high-profile chamber music program to Crema, featuring soloists, duos, and ensembles from the Italian and international concert scene. Each concert has an evocative title and a carefully constructed program, capable of taking the audience on a journey through different repertoires and atmospheres.

Historic residences as a stage

The added value of Musica in Corte is its setting: Palazzo Vimercati Sanseverino, Palazzo Terni de Gregory, Corte Stalloni, Villa Benvenuti, and other historic residences become intimate and evocative theatres for an evening. Listening to great musicians amidst frescoes, courtyards, and period salons is an experience that combines the emotion of the concert with the discovery of otherwise inaccessible places.

Culture open to all

Organized by Pro Loco Crema, the festival offers free admission subject to availability, in the spirit of accessible, high-quality culture. Between spring and early autumn, Musica in Corte offers the city moments of great beauty, confirming itself as one of the most refined events in Crema's cultural calendar.
