Musical May at the Church of S. Maria dei Servi

The historic Basilica dei Servi will be transformed into the stage for two extraordinary musical events in May, offering the public a unique and evocative sound experience.

The first event, scheduled for Saturday, May 17 at 9 p.m., will be held in the intimate and historically rich atmosphere of the Basilica's Sacristy. Chamber music lovers will be able to immerse themselves in a selected repertoire, and the intimate acoustics of the sacristy will enhance the nuances and dynamics of each instrument, creating an engaging and personal listening experience. Reservations for this event are mandatory given the limited number of seats the Basilica sacristy can hold.

On the program:

R. Schumann, “Renana,” Symphony No. 3 in E major, op. 47

F. Mendelssohn Bartoldy, “The Hebrews,” Overture in B min op.26.
