Festival Organi Storici

The new edition of the Historical Organs Festival returns, confirming itself as one of the most distinctive cultural events in the Province of Verona, and this year features 28 concerts in the city of Verona and in numerous churches in the Veronese territory.

This recurring event was created to promote the historical organs of the Veronese area and enhance the musical instruments that are being restored.
Once again, the festival represents an additional opportunity to spread the concept of historical significance that characterizes the organ, perhaps more than any other instrument.
