Notes of Summer

Classical Music at Rocca Brivio

Notes of Summer is the concert review that for over thirty years has accompanied spring and early summer in San Giuliano Milanese, in the Metropolitan City of Milan. The setting for the events is the Rocca Brivio, a historic residence surrounded by the greenery of the South Milan Agricultural Park, which offers an exceptional context for listening to great music.

The Artistic Direction of Maestro Balzani

The review is curated by Maestro Vincenzo Balzani, a renowned pianist and educator, who each year proposes a thematic thread. The most recent edition revolves around the theme Amormusica, "where music evokes dance and the art of bel canto," intertwining piano, string quartet, voice, and instrumental duo throughout the various evenings.

Concerts and Masterclasses

The program alternates between established performers and young talents from the Pianofriends Association, ranging from Spanish repertoire to Bach and Gershwin, up to pieces dedicated to Republic Day. Alongside the concerts, an afternoon Open Masterclass opens the musicians' training work to the public, making the review also an educational opportunity.

An Event for the Territory

Organized by the Roccabrivio ETS Association in collaboration with the Municipality of San Giuliano Milanese, Notes of Summer offers free admission and is aimed at a wide audience, from classical music enthusiasts to local families. The review simultaneously enhances the musical and architectural heritage of Rocca Brivio.
