It is with a feeling of profound joy that I am glad to launch the 5th edition of the International Music Festival CHIETI CLASSICA, which will take place in the historic city of Chieti from the 26th of July to the 11th of August 2022.
Some of the greatest professors and performers of the international
classical music world will dedicate their art to our festival and to the
young people who will participate in our daily masterclasses and concerts.
This year we will also be introducing a new initiative – Mozart
Evenings in Chieti, a separate project taking place alongside the
festival’s main events which will be dedicated to the legacy of Mozart
and will see Chieti filled with the music of this wonderful composer.
I would like to express my gratitude to all our local and international supporters for helping us continue to make the Chieti Classica festival bigger and better than before, and especially to the European Foundation for Support of Culture, our main partners in this event.
Most of all, however, I would like to thank all of you who have come to Chieti to join us. It is your presence that makes it all worthwhile, and I eagerly look forward to welcoming all those young artists who represent the future of classical music, and who I am sure, will once again bring light and hope to arts and culture!
