Musica Con Vista Festival Brings Classical Concerts to Italian Historic Villas

The Musica Con Vista festival, running from June to September 21, 2024, presents classical chamber music concerts in historic villas, palaces, and museums across Italy. The festival spans multiple cities from Trento and Trieste to Sicily, aiming to combine music with visual arts and architecture. It is organized by the Comitato AMUR and Le Dimore Del Quartetto, with support from the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane, Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano, Civita, and Touring Club Italiano. The format connects musicians with historic residences for performances. On July 6, 2024, the Quartetto Werther performed at Villa Panza in Varese, a FAI property housing Giuseppe Panza di Biumo's contemporary art collection with works by Robert Irwin, James Turrell, and Dan Flavin. The quartet played Mozart's Quartet No. 2 in E-flat major K493 and Brahms' Quartet No. 3 in C minor op. 60.
