At the Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella in Naples returns the festival of concerts of Musical Fridays!
Il Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella, in the historic center of Naples, has given way to an interesting concert review entitled "Musical Fridays". The inaugural concert has already been held on March 17, 2017, anticipated by a preview on March 11, but the program will continue every week until 28 April. It will then be followed by the preview of the “Maggio of Music and Monuments".
The concerts, despite the title of the event, will also take place on other days of the week and the main location will be the Sala Scarlatti of the Conservatory. Some performances, however, will be hosted by other venues such as Pharmacy of the Incurable and Museum of Capodimonte.
To perform, important musical ensembles, but also the San Pietro a Majella Orchestra will be among the protagonists. Concerts will be accessible to all as the entrance ticket will be very cheap.
