Oggebbio in Musica

Classical music among the frescoes of Cadessino

Oggebbio in Musica is the classical music event that the Municipality of Oggebbio, a small village in the Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola overlooking Lake Maggiore, offers in the heart of summer. The series brings quality concerts to one of the most evocative places in the area: the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, in the hamlet of Cadessino.

A church that is a spectacle in itself

The 15th-century oratory of Cadessino is an authentic jewel: declared a national monument, it preserves a bell tower of clear Romanesque origins, a high altar in polychrome marble, and above all, an extensive cycle of 15th-century frescoes. Listening to classical music in this intimate space means living an experience where art, history, and sound merge. The church's acoustics particularly enhance chamber and early music repertoires, offering the audience a close and intense listening experience.

Lake Maggiore as a backdrop

Oggebbio is a scattered municipality, composed of about fifteen small villages distributed between the lake shore and the wooded slopes that rise up to Piancavallo. Camellias, historic gardens, and panoramic trails surround an event that invites you to discover the Upper Lake Maggiore away from the main tourist flows. An evening at Oggebbio in Musica is the perfect opportunity to combine a walk along the lakefront, a dinner in the village restaurants, and a concert in an ancient church.

For music lovers

The series is aimed at all fans of classical and chamber music, but also at those looking for a cultural experience off the beaten track. The events, organized directly by the Municipality, bring different instruments into dialogue—from the transverse flute to the cello, from the piano to chamber ensembles—in programs designed for the local public and the numerous vacationers who frequent Lake Maggiore during the summer season.

How to participate

The concerts generally take place in the evening, in the Cadessino hamlet of Oggebbio (VB). To find out dates, programs, and access methods, it is advisable to consult the website of the Municipality of Oggebbio or contact the municipal office, which manages the organization of the series.
