International chamber music festival in the city on the cliff
Orvieto Musica is an international chamber music festival that takes place every summer in the city on the cliff, in the Province of Terni. With over thirty years of history, it has become a benchmark for young talents and established musicians who choose Orvieto to study, perform, and share the stage in the most evocative settings of the medieval centre.
Alongside its concert activities, the festival offers a true summer academy, with programmes dedicated to strings, voice, piano, organ, trumpet, and other brass instruments, as well as composition courses. Participants, from all over the world, have an immersive experience in Italian musical tradition, under the artistic direction of Kim Walker.
Concerts are held in the churches, palaces, and historic spaces of Orvieto, just over an hour from Rome. The city, with its Duomo, one of the most beautiful in Italy, offers a unique setting for a festival that combines musical excellence, hospitality, and the enhancement of Umbrian heritage. A proposal that intertwines classical music, international training, and cultural tourism.
The 33rd season of Orvieto Musica returns from June 14 to July 4, 2026, for three weeks of chamber music in the historic centre of Orvieto. The festival brings together emerging and established musicians from around the world for a concert season held in the city's churches and palaces.
Alongside the concerts, the high-level training programmes — strings, voice, piano, organ, trumpet, and other brass instruments, composition — make Orvieto an international music laboratory. The executive and artistic direction is entrusted to Kim Walker.
The detailed schedule of individual concerts, with times and performers, is published on the official website orvietomusica.org in the weeks preceding the start of the season.
