VISITS

Before the shows you can visit free of charge gardens, places of worship and monumental buildings adjacent to Piazza della Santissima Annunziata.

And again, as part of Musart afternoon concerts, photo exhibitions, music films, an itinerary through places and spaces that have made the history of live music in Florence and other initiatives, mostly free admission.

CONCERT PROGRAM IN THE CLOISTER OF THE ISTITUTO DEGLI INNOCENTI

The performances in the Piazza della Santissima Annunziata are in fact joined by concerts in the Cortile degli Uomini, a magnificent cloister of the Istituto degli Innocenti designed by Filippo Brunelleschi in the 15th century. Perfect context to exalt of singer-songwriters such as Tommaso Novi, who on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, opens the festival by unveiling songs from his new album Terzino fuorigioco, the former Gatti Mézzi's most complete and mature work, driven by tracks such as Area, Molto bello and Io sapevo nuotare.

Highly anticipated is Frida Bollani Magoni's concert on Wednesday, July 13, 2022. A pure, precious, unique talent, Frida is one of the most mature and surprising artists on the international scene. Her web performances go viral, and her debut album Primo Tour, released a few days ago, has definitely imposed her on the general public.

Almost a passing of the baton with Nada, who on Thursday, July 14, 2022, again in the Cortile degli Uomini of the Istituto degli Innocenti, brings a sort of "best of" her repertoire.

On Tuesday, July 26, at 4:45 p.m., it will be pianist Dado Moroni's dawn concert that will bring the curtain down on Musart Festival.

Performances start at 9:15 p.m., tickets available online at the official website musartfestival.it
