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.

The 2024 edition will be Francesco Piemontesi's penultimate as artistic director. This was announced by the person concerned during the press conference presenting the programme of the 79. Edition.

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.
