Chamber music with a view of Lake Como, in the balcony village of Brunate
Brunate is the "balcony village" overlooking Como and the lake, reachable from the city by the historic funicular. Here, the Sunset Concerts festival combines two beauties: chamber music and the panorama. The setting is the Auditorium of the Municipal Library, at via Funicolare 16, whose windows open onto a view stretching from Lake Como to the Alps.
The festival is promoted by the Library Commission of the Municipality of Brunate together with the Musica Bene Comune association, with the collaboration of local musical institutions such as the "G. Verdi" Conservatory of Como. Often featured are young performers awarded by the Conservatory, who present programs ranging from 20th-century Italian music to repertoire for guitar, from Bach's suites to chamber music.
With free entry, the concerts are held mainly between spring and summer, taking advantage of the sunset hours as a scenic element. For the residents of Brunate and for visitors coming up from Como, it is an opportunity to experience the village in a different way, between culture and contemplation of the Larian landscape, in the Province of Como.
The 2026 edition of Sunset Concerts will continue the annual chamber music festival in the Auditorium of the Municipal Library of Brunate, Province of Como, with free entry. Dates and program will be announced by the organizers.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition, with dates and performers, will be published by the Municipality of Brunate and the Library closer to the events. The festival traditionally features a series of concerts between spring and summer in the Library Auditorium, with young performers and programs ranging from classical chamber repertoire to 20th-century music, often in collaboration with the "G. Verdi" Conservatory of Como.
