In early October 2026, several classical and sacred music events were scheduled across various Italian cities.

Initial performances included organ concerts in Legnago at the Chiesa dell’Assunta, featuring the inauguration of the Carli Opus 53 organ, and in Novara at the Basilica di San Gaudenzio with concertist Olga Zhukova. 

By mid-October, musical programming expanded in Foggia. The Teatro Umberto Giordano hosted the Quatuor Naka for the Amici della Musica di Foggia season. Simultaneously, the 9th ‘Organ’Aria’ concert series commenced at the Foggia Cathedral, featuring Tokyo-based organist Kinue Aota in a program marking the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Italy. This series was scheduled to continue through late October in Cagnano Varano and San Severo.
