Sundays in Music

A musical tradition in the heart of Upper Garda

Sundays in Music is one of the longest-running and most appreciated concert series in Trentino. Every year, on the Sunday afternoons of January, the Ballroom of the Municipal Casino of Arco hosts a series of free classical music concerts, drawing enthusiasts and curious visitors from across the Upper Garda region and nearby towns like Riva del Garda and Torbole. The series is promoted by the Camerata Musicale Città di Arco in collaboration with the Lega Vita Serena, with the support of the Municipality of Arco and the Cassa Rurale Alto Garda-Rovereto.

A refined and eclectic program

The lineup balances diverse genres and ensembles: from piano recitals to chamber duos for strings, from concerts dedicated to operetta to symphonic performances by the Camerata Musicale Città di Arco orchestra. Each Sunday offers a different mood, ranging from the classical and romantic repertoire to French 20th-century works, with forays into the brilliant and nostalgic world of Central European operetta. Concerts begin in the early afternoon, typically at 3:30 PM, in an elegant and intimate setting perfectly suited for listening.

The Municipal Casino, an exceptional setting

The venue for the series is the historic Municipal Casino of Arco, a building that symbolizes Arco's past as a renowned Habsburg health resort. Its ballroom, with its period acoustics and atmosphere, provides the ideal backdrop for high-quality musical performances, designed for an intergenerational audience and made accessible to all thanks to free admission.

A staple of the Arco winter

In the cultural calendar of the Municipality of Arco, in the province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige), Sundays in Music represents a cornerstone of the winter season. Now in its thirtieth year, the series testifies to the strong bond between the Upper Garda territory and the tradition of classical music, offering residents and the many visitors who choose Arco even in the cold season an opportunity to gather around great music.
