Piano City Milan — Concert at San Donato Lake

Piano City Arrives in San Donato

Piano City Milan is the widespread festival that transforms Milan and the municipalities of the metropolitan area into a grand stage for the piano each year, with hundreds of concerts in courtyards, gardens, private homes, and unexpected locations. San Donato Milanese, in the province of Milan, participates with one of the most poetic events in the entire program: a dawn concert on the banks of the lake on Via Europa.

Music on the Water, at First Light

While the city is still enveloped in silence, the notes of the piano spread across the lake's water. The program is designed to integrate with the rarefied and poetic atmosphere of dawn, in a dialogue between music and landscape that makes this concert an immersive experience, suspended between nature and art. The water's surface, the changing light, the audience gathered in silence: these are the moments that remain etched in memory.

Zharko Paunov on the Piano

The protagonist is Maestro Zharko Paunov, a pianist and teacher at the Civic Music School of San Donato. His presence links the event to the city's cultural fabric, highlighting local educational institutions within a metropolitan-wide festival. The concert is free to enter and is part of the overall Piano City Milan schedule.

A Festival That Redesigns the City

With over 250 concerts in more than 140 locations, Piano City Milan is now an eagerly awaited event of the Lombard spring. The San Donato Milanese stop represents its most intimate and contemplative expression: no large stages, but a piano, a lake, and the dawn of a May day.
