The 2026 edition features concerts, meetings, and cultural initiatives carried out in collaboration with musical institutions, cultural organizations, and local realities. An opportunity to listen to Mozart’s music and explore his presence in European cultural history.
The festival involves various venues in the city and brings together musicians, scholars, and young interpreters. Designed and curated by Arch.
