San Maurizio in Musica: Guitar and Strings in the Centuries

About the Event

Immerse yourself in the stunning architecture of Milan's breathtaking and lovely San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, the 'Sistine Chapel of Milan', for the ultimate concert set to awake your understanding of classical music.

An evocative timbral union of violin, cello, and guitar reinterprets pieces from the Baroque to the present day, also presenting a little‐known Suite by Shostakovich, who with his usual stylistic genius revives the charm of melody in the mid‐20th century.
