Art Talks
Palermo Classica is delighted to announce a series of educational events designed to create a genuine opportunity for the Festival’s featured artists to engage with the public. This is a special chance to get to know the musicians better, explore the programmes in greater depth, and discover the historical, cultural and artistic context of the works to be performed.
These events have been organised with the aim of promoting a more informed listening experience, bridging the cultural gap that often separates the public from classical music. Through dialogue, discussion and the sharing of insights and reflections, you will be able to engage with the concert experience in an even more intense and immersive way.
Admission is free, subject to availability. To make the atmosphere even more enjoyable and foster a sense of camaraderie, a refreshment bar will also be available to the public.
We look forward to sharing with you the pleasure of music, listening and coming together.
