Dear friends,
It is with great enthusiasm that I announce the seventh edition of the International Music Festival Chieti Classica.
The constant presence of this event from 2018 onwards in the wonderful city of Chieti, is a sign of how much our association cares about the promotion of classical music culture in our territory, through the presence of talented young people from all over the world and of internationally renowned teachers.
The news we receive every day reveals how difficult and complex the times we are living are. Culture, Art and Music really become a hope, a light and a way of protesting against the disharmonies of our time. Quoting the immense Leonard Bernstein: "This will be our reply to violence: to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before."
With the hope that our festival will leave a mark in your hearts and that it will prove to be an important stage of your musical training, I wish you an unforgettable Chieti Classica 2024!
Dear Friends,
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to this latest edition of the Chieti Classica International Music Festival.
Chieti Classica was founded with a clear and enduring goal of celebrating the richness of classical music while fostering dialogue between generations, cultures, and artistic traditions. Set in a city of such remarkable historical and cultural import, this festival provides a unique space where young and emerging talents can meet, collaborate, and share their passion for music alongside some of the most acclaimed names in the classical music world.
Over the years, Chieti Classica has grown into an international platform that values artistic excellence, music education, and cultural exchange in equal measure. Through its concerts, masterclasses, and collaborative projects, the festival continues to support young musicians at crucial stages of their development, offering them the chance to engage in meaningful and memorable musical experiences.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our artistic leadership, faculty, performers, partners, and supporters, whose dedication and vision make this festival possible. Above all, however, I wish to thank the musicians and audiences who give Chieti Classica its true spirit and purpose.
I wish all of you who have joined us here an inspiring and rewarding festival, filled with creativity, discovery, and the joy that only our shared global heritage of music can bring.
