Ascona Music Festival

The 17th edition of the Ascona Music Festival, scheduled from October 20 to December 20, 2026, presents ISTANTI – Miniatures of Great Piano Music, the new concert project by pianist and artistic director Daniel Levy.

The focus is on short, intense compositions capable of encapsulating, in just a few notes, an extraordinary poetic and emotional richness. The program invites you to rediscover the power of the musical moment through works by great composers such as Bach, Scarlatti, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Grieg, and Scriabin.

Starting October 20, 2026, three online concerts by Daniel Levy, dedicated to the ISTANTI project, will be available. The INSTANTS album, available for download, completes the experience.
