Biennale Musica 2026

The 70th International Festival of Contemporary Music, titled A Child of Sound, takes place in Venice from 10 to 24 October, directed by Caterina Barbieri. It features world premieres and site-specific works spanning centuries and continents, mixing tradition, classical and experimental music. The Parco della Musica Contemporanea Ensemble performs an unpublished Ennio Morricone work built around a Pier Paolo Pasolini poem, alongside Bach and a Sarah Davachi commission.
