Organ Festival

The Organ Festival and its Alvignano stop

The Organ Festival is a travelling concert series that visits churches and sanctuaries across the Alto Casertano region in Campania every year. The event reaches several towns in the province of Caserta—including Alvignano, Castel Campagnano, Sepicciano di Piedimonte Matese, Aversa, and Pietramelara—offering a cycle of free concerts that celebrate the rich sound of pipe organs and the beauty of the sacred buildings that house them. The festival is promoted by the Anna Jervolino Association in collaboration with the Friends of the Organ Association, with the patronage of local administrations and the support of the Ministry of Culture and the Campania Region.

Alvignano, the heart of the journey

In the Municipality of Alvignano, a village in the Caserta hinterland, the festival has a regular, recurring stop at the Sanctuary of the Madonna Addolorata. Each edition hosts at least two evening performances here, making the Alvignano sanctuary one of the festival's iconic venues. The choice of this space is no coincidence: the church's acoustics and the presence of the pipe organ create an intimate dialogue between architecture, spirituality, and music, in perfect harmony with the festival's spirit.

A sacred and classical repertoire

The program spans from the Baroque repertoire to 19th-century compositions, with forays into sacred music and the great European organ literature. On stage—or rather, at the console—are renowned performers: conservatory professors, established concert artists, and young winners of international competitions. The declared goal of the Anna Jervolino Association is twofold: to give visibility to emerging talents and to promote the ancient organs of the territory, which are often little known to the general public.

An experience open to all

All concerts are free of charge and are held in the evening, when the twilight in the churches amplifies the evocative power of the music. The Organ Festival thus represents a precious opportunity to discover the historical and artistic heritage of the Alto Casertano villages, combining cultural tourism, spirituality, and high-level music in a journey that renews itself every year between Alvignano and the neighboring towns in the province of Caserta.
