Bologna Festival 2025

From April to October, eight major series bring music to life across the city of Bologna, from museums to churches, from traditional venues to more unconventional spaces such as a brewery. The programme spans from early music to folk-inspired crossovers, featuring both very young talents selected directly by the Festival and leading figures of the international music scene. At its core runs a symphonic strand of outstanding excellence, led by the Berliner Philharmoniker with Riccardo Muti, the London Symphony Orchestra with Antonio Pappano, the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai with Kirill Petrenko, and the Orchestra Sinfonica Rossini with Enrico Lombardi.
