InCanto d'Estate 2026

Classical music, opera and ballet

InCanto d'Estate returns as part of the Estate Fiorentina 2026 programme, featuring a rich calendar of eleven free concerts taking place from 30 June to 13 September.

The festival offers a musical journey through a wide range of styles, from classical music to jazz, blues and singer-songwriter traditions, bringing outstanding performers to three distinctive venues in Florence's District 5: Villa Pozzolini – Biblioteca Buonarroti, the Oratory of the Church of Santa Maria a Novoli, and the Auditorium of the New Entrance Building at Careggi Hospital.

The concerts on 14 July and 28 July are part of InCanto d'Estate Green, an initiative promoting environmental awareness. Each event will open with a short talk by geologist and musician Chiara White Cavallina, focusing on sustainability, nature, water resources and our relationship with the environment.

Admission is free for all concerts.
