Music at the Museum: the concert series with the “Luigi Cherubini” Conservatory of Florence kicks off

Also this year the special openings of the Museo dell’Opificio delle Pietre Dure will be accompanied by a series of concerts produced in collaboration with the Conservatorio di Musica “Luigi Cherubini” di Firenze, offering the public the opportunity to experience the museum as a meeting place between arts, languages and different expressive forms. From October to November 2026, in the Museum’s rooms, students and young performers from the Conservatory will present six events dedicated to different instruments and repertoires, in a musical path ranging from the Baroque to contemporary music. The concerts will take place on Thursday afternoons at 16.45 and will accompany the museum’s special openings, helping to enrich the visiting experience with moments of listening and deepening. The series will begin on 1 October with an accordion concert curated by Professor Riccardo Centazzo, with Andrea Misirlis and Francesco Moretti, who will perform music by Bach, Olczak and Musorgskij. Following will be the events dedicated to the violin (8 October), viola and cello (15 October), flute (5 November), guitar (12 November) and clarinet (19 November), under the guidance of the Conservatory’s teachers. The initiative stems from the desire to enhance the museum as a cultural space open to the city, able to welcome not only the artistic heritage and the restoration activities that characterize the Opificio delle Pietre Dure, but also artistic proposals in dialogue with it. The collaboration with the Conservatory “Luigi Cherubini” also offers an important opportunity for visibility and comparison for young musicians in training. During the afternoons free guided tours will also be organized by the Opificio delle Pietre Dure for groups of up to 20 people. No reservation is required: interested visitors may ask to be added to the list upon entering the museum.
