Saturday 14 November – Sunday 15 November
Florence’s weekend programme ranges from chamber music and theatre to hands-on workshops, film and live gigs, with events spread across the centre and southern districts.
Classical music appears in several forms, from piano recitals and cello performances to a trio bringing flute, bassoon and piano together. Theatre spans contemporary stories and historical intrigue, while workshops include practical work with wood and colour.
A flute, bassoon and piano trio traces connections between musical periods and styles.
