A Unique Musical Experience in a Historic Setting
The concerts take place in the historic Sala del Bramante, within the Basilica di Santa Maria delle Grazie — a site of exceptional artistic and cultural significance, part of a UNESCO World Heritage complex.
This remarkable space is normally closed to the public, and access is granted exclusively for this special concert series. It offers a rare opportunity to experience music in an intimate Renaissance setting of extraordinary beauty.
The ceiling frescoes of the Sala del Bramante are traditionally attributed to Leonardo da Vinci and his circle, adding further historical resonance to the space.
