About Musical Encounters
The Music of the Santa Cecilia Foundation
The Santa Cecilia Musical Foundation is one of the most important cultural institutions in Portogruaro, in the Province of Venice, also known for its prestigious International Music Festival. Among its initiatives, the Musical Encounters series dedicates a series of concerts, generally between March and June, to promoting students and young musicians.
A Series Spread Across the Territory
The events take place in multiple locations in Eastern Veneto and neighboring areas: the Magnolia Foyer of the Foundation in Portogruaro, but also Oderzo, Castagnole, Latisana, and Conegliano. A network that connects various music schools and institutions, offering young performers real stages in front of an audience.
Free Concerts and Education
All events are free admission and cover diverse repertoires and ensembles, from violin to harp, from chamber music to recitals by partner institutions. It is a series that combines educational and concert dimensions, supporting the growth of young talents.
In the Cultural Heart of Portogruaro
Promoted by the Santa Cecilia Musical Foundation with the support of the Municipality of Portogruaro, the Musical Encounters series confirms the role of the city on the Lemene river as a reference point for the musical culture of Eastern Veneto.
Musical Encounters — edition 2026
