MITO SettembreMusica 2026: The international festival between Turin and Milan

The twentieth anniversary edition

From September 6 to 20, 2026, the cities of Turin and Milan renew their cultural collaboration for the twentieth edition of MITO SettembreMusica. The festival confirms its status as a landmark in the classical music landscape, supported by the joint efforts of the municipal administrations and the Ministry of Culture.

The Harmonia theme

The thematic core of this edition is Harmonia. Inspired by the mythological figure born from the union of Ares and Aphrodite, the festival explores the ability of harmony to act as a synthesis between opposites. According to artistic director Speranza Scappucci, the event intends to offer a space where conflict transforms into an opportunity for listening and dialogue, interpreting music as a universal language of mediation.

Locations and architecture

Performances unfold across symbolic spaces of the historical and architectural heritage of the two metropolises. In Turin, concerts are hosted between austere Savoyard palaces and modern auditoriums, expressions of Piedmontese urban rigor. In Milan, the circuit involves iconic concert halls and secular places of worship, icons of the Milanese creative dynamism and its centuries-old musical tradition.

A dialogue between metropolises

The festival breaks down geographical distances, proposing a mirrored program that unites the two urban realities. The choice to alternate stages underscores the value of a cultural network that transcends regional borders to position itself as an integrated sound ecosystem. The focus is placed on the quality of performances and the diversity of the artistic groups involved, ensuring an offering capable of attracting a diverse audience.
