Welcome to the Matera Festival 2027 in Matera
Every summer, the Matera Festival, known as Museo in Sinfonia, turns iconic locations across the city into open air concert stages.

- Additional performances at the Ex Ospedale San Rocco, a former hospital in the old town
- An international reach, with past editions of the program also touring abroad

- A program that appeals to music lovers and culture enthusiasts alike
