Terre d'Arezzo Music Festival

The Terre d’Arezzo Music Festival reaches its 21st edition with a programme spread across Arezzo and its province, featuring classical, chamber and organ music as well as cross-genre performances

The Terre d’Arezzo Music Festival 2026 returns with a programme of concerts hosted in churches, cloisters, squares, villages, villas and places of particular historical and scenic value in the province of Arezzo.

The festival, promoted by Associazione Opera Viwa APS, confirms its vocation for classical and chamber music, with incursions into tango, jazz, film scores, organ music and projects that bring together music, dance, cinema and storytelling.

The 2026 edition also includes the Arezzo Organ Festival, with recitals and concerts in some of the area’s most significant churches, and Musica nel Chiostro, a series dedicated to concerts in Arezzo’s historic buildings. The festival involves Arezzo and numerous municipalities in the province, offering a musical journey that brings together Italian and international artists, young performers and highly evocative venues.
