In Matera, the Orchestra Sinfonica di Matera is set to feature oboe soloist Luca Vignali. Other regional performances include Baroque chamber music in Palermo, an opening season performance by the Orchestra dell’Accademia Teatro alla Scala in Catanzaro, and a Russian music concert in Molfetta.

In Pordenone, the Coro Polifonico di Ruda will debut ‘Genesi’ at the Duomo di San Marco as part of the 35th Autumn International Sacred Music Festival.
