Eufonica

From May 15 to 17 2026 in Bologna – UNESCO Creative City of Music, at Pavilion 33 of BolognaFiere, the fourth edition of Eufonica will take place.

For the second consecutive year, EUFONICA will run concurrently with the Guitar Show and in collaboration with MEI – Meeting of Independent Record Labels, bringing to Bologna some of the most significant artistic, production, and creative pathways in today’s Italian independent music scene, generating a unique “Music Ecosystem” for exhibitors and visitors alike.

With over 300 events on the calendar, EUFONICA confirms itself as an ideal exhibition space for networking and growth opportunities for those who live and work in the music industry.

Among the highlights and new features of this edition:

• the Drum Show, a new international exhibition area dedicated to drums and percussion, enriched by the Dom Famularo Memorial Day, an event featuring masterclasses, a competition, and a final show
• the Vinyl Experience – an experiential journey exploring the cultural value of vinyl
• two International Luthiery Competitions for bowed and plucked instruments
• the ESTA International Conference – European String Teachers Association, held on the occasion of the Association’s 50th anniversary
• events promoted by SIEM (Italian Society for Music Education) and Intrecci di Corde: the first edition of the festival of Italian music schools dedicated to string instruments, in collaboration with AIdSM – Italian Association of Music Schools, and COMUSICA – Coordination of Musical Orientation

Thanks to the collaboration with the “G.B. Martini” Conservatory of Bologna, the Guitar Week is also confirmed for the 2026 edition, featuring concerts by Conservatory students dedicated to classical and jazz guitar.

In addition, the Music Fair and its professions renew their collaboration with INDIRE (National Institute for Documentation, Innovation and Educational Research) for an extensive program of conferences, workshops, and calls for papers focused on the relationship between music, education, innovation, and inclusion.
