Autumn concerts 2025

The Bartolomeo Cristofori Academy (ABC) is dedicated, in particular, to the rediscovery and promotion of the fortepiano (i.e. the early generations of the piano) and, more generally, historical keyboard instruments.

The name honours Bartolomeo Cristofori, the inventor of the piano, who worked in Florence at the Medici court. This reference historicises the institution's activity in continuity with a great Florentine musical tradition.

Its main objectives include: the collection, restoration and use of historical instruments; the organisation of concerts with original or reconstructed instruments, starting with lesser-known classical European repertoires (Haydn, Mozart, Czerny, Field...) but also from the 18th and 19th centuries; the offer of masterclasses, seminars, conferences and the study of interpretative practices on historical instruments.

For the 2025 autumn season, please consult the programme on the website.
