Live like a local.
Make beautiful music.
Welcome!
We hope you will join us next summer as instrumentalists and vocalists collaborate while immersing themselves in the life, food, and history of a medieval Tuscan town.
Sarteano is off the beaten path - not overrun with tourists. Whether you are a high level adult or university musician, or a student who prefers to stick to a slower pace and more ensemble work, we have a place for you in our programs. Please explore this website to learn more about applying for Festival participation, accommodations, faculty, and more.
See you in Sarteano!
Festival DATES: July 14-29, 2025
Immersing ourselves in authentic Italian culture, we experience renewal by making beautiful music in a beautiful place with like-minded individuals!
We set up your musical experience: gathering faculty, providing gorgeous venues for performance and classes, and curating a list of cultural experience that you can choose from.
You: Play great music, make wonderful friends, perform in stunning venues, and take time to enjoy the many delights of Tuscany. Rehearsals, coachings, and private lessons are augmented with multiple public performances in historic venues. Enjoy great food, archeological sites, an ancient castle, a local spring-fed pool, farmers markets and much more! Past participants include musical retirees, undergraduate and graduate music students, and high-level professional musicians. We are an age-inclusive group that welcomes musicians at many stages.
Inspired by our surroundings in the medieval town of Sarteano, Summer Music in Tuscany has attracted vocalists and instrumentalists from around the world for over 10 years. Are you a musician who wants to hone their craft while exploring Tuscan towns, food, and history? Join us!
