Wule Symphony Orchestra to perform in Italy for 2026 Peace Festival

The Wule Symphony Orchestra, a musical ensemble composed of Chan monks, will perform as part of the World Peace Culture & Arts Festival 2026. Directed by Maestro Chan Shi Wule, the orchestra aims to create a spiritual and symphonic bridge between Eastern and Western traditions.

The tour includes international performances in Brussels at the Committee of the Regions on October 27 and in Berlin at the Philharmonie on October 29. In Italy, the orchestra will perform at the Teatro degli Arcimboldi in Milan on November 2, 2026, featuring German horn soloist Felix Klieser and hosted by journalist Ilaria D’Amico. A second event is scheduled for November 5, 2026, at the Royal Villa of Monza.

Admission to the Milan event is free with mandatory online reservation and voluntary on-site donations. Proceeds from these donations are intended to fund the establishment of a new meditation center in Italy. The festival is organized by cultural mediator and music critic Sean White.
