Message from the Founder & Artistic Director
Welcome to the Lerici Music Festival!
Set in the heart of the Gulf of Poets—a place that has inspired artists, writers, and musicians for centuries—the Festival was born from a desire to create something more than a series of concerts: an experience, a meeting point, a vision.
The Lerici Music Festival is the realization of a dream: to create a space where great music can engage in dialogue with the beauty of the landscape, the richness of history, and the spirit of this extraordinary place. Each edition is conceived as a journey—an artistic narrative that brings together tradition and innovation, celebrated international artists and exciting new discoveries.
Alongside some of the most established names on the global stage, the Festival stands out as a true showcase for remarkable talent—often young, always strikingly original. These are artists who challenge conventions, who surprise, and who bring a deeply personal and authentic voice to music-making. I firmly believe that supporting such individuality is essential, because it is here that the future of the art form is shaped.
I believe deeply in the power of music to unite, to move, and to transform. For this reason, the Festival is open to the community, lives within its most evocative spaces, and invites audiences to share unique moments where art becomes a living, collective experience.
As Founder and Artistic Director, it is a privilege for me to guide you on this journey—one that is renewed each year with new ideas, new energy, and the same enduring passion.
I look forward to welcoming you to Lerici.
Maestro Gianluca Marcianò, Founder & Artistic Director Lerici Music Festival
