Big names, top-quality programme

The 79th edition of the Settimane Musicali di Ascona, scheduled from 31 August to 8 October 2024, promises to be of the highest artistic quality, with a programme that brings together prestigious debuts and welcome returns, great symphony orchestras and acclaimed soloists.

Given the success of last year's edition, free admission for young people to all concerts of the Settimane Musicali is confirmed again this year.  The initiative is aimed at involving young people and promoting a passion for music among the younger generation.  A warm invitation to participate is also extended to schools.

Starting with the 81st edition in 2026, the cultural manager from Basel, Christoph Müller (54), will take over the artistic management of the Settimane Musicali Ascona.
