Competitions, Masterclasses and Concerts The 12th edition of the Cremona Summer Festival will take place in Cremona from July 7th to July 30th 2022. It features a full program of competitions, masterclasses and concerts. Students, parents and teachers of stringed instruments, piano and wind instruments from around the world will arrive in town to take part in the Cremona Summer Festival to play in the land of Stradivari. The Cremona Summer Festival is a festival that serves as a venue for educational activities related to the violin. It is organized by Chamber of Commerce of Cremona and “Claudio Monteverdi“ Music Institute for academic studies of Cremona, with the contribution of Lombardy Region and the City of Cremona, in collaboration with Consortium of Violinmakers “Antonio Stradivari” Cremona, Cremona International Music Academy, Casalmaggiore International Music Festival and The Florence International Festival of Youth Orchestras. The Cremona Summer Festival is supported by and collaborates with the Antonio Stradivari Cremona International Violin Making School, the Violin Museum, the Touring Club, the Strada del Gusto Cremonese and the Shops of the City Centre and the Distretto Urbano del Commercio. The commitment and the common desire to focus on Cremona - city of music and violin making - can be demonstrated by the fact that the concerts of the Cremona Summer Festival are partly included in other exhibitions and events already scheduled in the territory in order to boost the promotional effects and to further encourage turnout.
