Surano Music Festival

The Music Festival arrives in Surano

On June 21st, the day of the summer solstice, the Music Festival (Festa della Musica) is celebrated throughout Europe, a massive widespread event that fills squares, churchyards, and streets with sounds and free concerts. For the first time, this festival with a universal vocation also arrives in Surano, a small town in the province of Lecce, in the heart of Salento, thanks to the efforts of the Pro Loco of Surano APS, in collaboration with the Maria SS. Assunta Parish and the Municipality of Surano.

An event dedicated to the universal language of music

The initiative was created to offer the community a moment of meeting and sharing, valuing music as a tool capable of uniting peoples, traditions, and emotions. The chosen setting is the church square of the Mother Church, one of the most evocative corners of the historic center of Surano, where sacred architecture dialogues with the landscape of lower Salento.

"Ave Maria from all over the world"

The heart of the evening is the musical performance "Ave Maria from all over the world", an artistic project created by Antonio Papa. The audience is taken on an intense and multicultural musical journey, through interpretations coming from different traditions and artistic sensibilities. On stage, voice, violin, piano, saxophone, and percussion intertwine for a journey capable of uniting spirituality, art, and different cultures in a single shared emotion.

Surano and the Salento of festivals

Located in the hinterland of lower Salento, in the province of Lecce and the Apulia region, Surano is a small community that proudly preserves its traditions. With the Music Festival, the town joins the widespread calendar promoted at a national level by UNPLI and the Italian Pro Loco associations, bringing the spirit of June 21st here as well: a free festival, open to everyone, which transforms the everyday spaces of the village into places of listening and community.
