Several venues in Rimini
Side innovative music projects
Rimini Sagra Musicale Malatestiana is one of the oldest and most prestigious Italian music festivals. The festival opens the doors to great music, as well as to new projects where original music is intertwined with other arts.
After the symphonic concerts, hosting important international symphony orchestras, the festival dedicates the new stage production of the Sagra Musicale Malatestiana to the myth of Orpheus and the origins of opera, thereby marking a new step in the path of research in the Baroque music carried out in recent years. Besides a series of concerts will focus on Jean Philippe Rameau and on the influence exerted by the great French composer throughout Europe with a project that will link the music of the eighteenth century to the celebrations for the fortieth anniversary of Fellini's film 'Il Casanova' (26th - 27th -31st October).
The varied program of musical events that will animate Rimini and the surrounding towns proposing renowned soloists and young talents will culminate in a piano marathon dedicated to Karlheinz Stockhausen, the undisputed master of twentieth-century music (October 1st).
The rich calendar will be concluded with the Sunday Concerts in the month of November (6th - 13th - 20th - 27th).
