Concerts 2026

Dear friends of the Volterra Project,
As we celebrate the 20th edition of the Volterra Project, it is with immense joy and pride that we invite you to two concerts featuring world-class artists in daring, imaginative, and highly original programmes.
These concerts will present a unique chamber music experience reflecting the symposium spirit of this anniversary edition, bringing together former alumnae and alumni alongside members of the Volterra Project faculty in a celebration of artistic collaboration, friendship, and shared musical journeys.

In keeping with our mission, all concerts presented by the Volterra Project are offered free of charge and open to all.
