The fourth event in the 2026 series, scheduled for Friday 13 March at 5 pm, is dedicated to two absolute pillars of European music history, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). Although they belonged to different generations, their works contributed fundamentally to defining the language of Western classical music, from sacred music to opera, from chamber music to the grand symphonic form. (IN ITALIAN)

Bach, a German organist and chapel master, is considered the pinnacle of Baroque counterpoint: in his cantatas, passions, concertos and famous keyboard works, the complexity of his writing is combined with intense spiritual depth and continuous formal experimentation. Mozart, a child prodigy and later a leading figure in European musical life at the end of the 18th century, was able to blend elegance, formal clarity and extraordinary expressiveness in every genre, thus paving the way for early Romanticism and leaving us a legacy that is still central to our musical life today.

During the guided tour, after a brief introduction to the history of the Conservatory Library, valuable musical materials by the two composers will be illustrated, which will also help to understand the historical path that led their music to be so loved and widespread today. In the musical moment that follows, several instrumental pieces for piano by Johann Sebastian Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart will be performed by students from the Conservatory's piano classes.

Admission is free of charge. MORE INFO
