Giardini musicali and White Night

Timetable

Saturday: 20:00 - 23:00

Free entry

For the third consecutive year, a splendid historic garden on the Collina d’Oro becomes the natural stage for an evening of music. This year’s concert takes place in the park of Villa Gilardi – exceptionally open to the public – the very place that in 1937 inspired Hesse to write the collection “In einem alten Tessiner Park” and to paint two watercolours dedicated to its elegant pavilion.

As the light fades, the historic garden transforms into a vibrant space filled with music and atmosphere. Under the direction of Yuram Ruiz, the Orchestra Giovanile della Svizzera italiana presents a programme that brings together the lyricism of Georges Bizet, the virtuosity of Camille Saint-Saëns and the intensity of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s celebrated “Symphony No. 25 in G minor”.

On this occasion, the Museo will remain open until 23.00, inviting the public after the concert to an intimate and atmospheric candlelit visit. The White Night is accompanied by performances from some soloists and small ensembles of the orchestra. After the concert, refreshments on Piazza Camuzzi in front of the Museum offer a convivial moment.

Further information and registration on the Museo Hermann Hesse Montagnola website by 28 August 2026. In collaboration with the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana.
