San Martino delle Scale Organ Festival

The 38th edition (2025) of the San Martino delle Scale Organ Festival opened on Friday, July 18, 2025, and continued for six evenings until the beginning of August at the Benedictine Abbey Basilica of Monreale, in the province of Palermo.

The inaugural concert, dedicated to a tribute to Bossi and Haydn, featured organist Andrea Macinanti alongside the Symphony Orchestra of the Alessandro Scarlatti Conservatory of Palermo, with a performance of Marco Enrico Bossi's Concerto Op. 100. Subsequent evenings featured prominent national and international organists. The festival celebrated the centenary of Bossi's death and the tercentenary of Alessandro Scarlatti, with the final evening dedicated to the Neapolitan musical school, performed by the Claustrum Musicae ensemble.

The edition, which offered free admission, was a great success with the public, confirming the festival as one of the most anticipated cultural events of the Monreale summer.
