The halls of the Vatican Museums will be filled with music from May 3 to October 25. The Museums are offering eleven concerts held between 6pm and 8pm for those who purchased a regular ticket to visit the exhibitions.
The stage for these performances will be Brazo Nuovo and the Gallery of Statues of the Pio Clementino Museum.
Musicians will come from Italian conservatories and international academies of higher education, in collaboration with the Italian National Committee for Music. These artists will travel from various Italian cities such as Modena, Naples and Siena.
This seventh edition of the initiative is meant to highlight the relationship between the visual and musical arts. Moreover, the performances are designed to be a very special gift to the public.
