The 6th edition of PIANO CITY PALERMO, the piano festival that transforms the city into a big stage, with talented artists from Sicily and all over the world, will be held from October 13th to October 15th.
Piano City Palermo returns to make the city resound with the sound of the piano and lands in Palermo for its sixth edition, thanks to the city’s generous welcome.
The festival, a co-production of the City of Palermo, the Teatro Massimo and the Piano City Milano association, is dedicated to the piano and ranges across musical genres, from classical to jazz, from pop to electronic. In these years of Palermo’s lively transformation, it brings music to the most sensitive, symbolic and significant places for the city’s social life. Concerts are free admission with compulsory booking. A big thank you to the pianists participating in the initiative and to the citizens, who are the true protagonists of this festival dedicated to Palermo!
