"Chennai Express: Journey from North to South through India" (Performance)
On the occasion of Music Day, the museum hosts a performance of music, dance and improvisation inspired by Indian tradition, with dances rooted in Bharatanatyam, India's oldest classical dance form. The performance takes shape without a set program, leaving room for artistic complicity and the breath of the moment. A sound and visual meditation, combining tabla, guitar, song and dance, in a concert-show that does not seek to narrate, but rather to evoke this and other universes...

VAGANTES - Music and Poetry from "Carmina Burana" (concert)
Concert as part of MEDFEST2025. In 1158, with the document Autentica habita, Frederick Barbarossa granted privileges to itinerant students known as clerici vagantes, figures halfway between poets and clerics. These students and their teachers left behind an important poetic and musical legacy, preserved in the manuscripts known as the Codex Buranus or Carmina Burana. This repertoire, spread throughout Europe, offers a lively and satirical image of the Middle Ages.
With: Ensemble Murmur Mori: Mirko Virginio Volpe, vocals, symphony, guitar, drum; Silvia Kuro, vocals, portative organ, bells, tambourine; Martino Ismaele Arosio, flutes; Matteo Brusa, citole, drum

Saint Catherine of Siena (Literary Concert)
As part of the“Le mistiche. Speciale Giubileo” series
Caterina di Jacopo Benincasa played a crucial role in the politics and Church of her time. She championed peace during a turbulent period and convinced the Pope to return to Rome after his exile in Avignon. Her actions made her an authoritative public figure, capable of challenging male hierarchies. Illiterate and the daughter of a dyer, she embodied the cardinal and theological virtues, preaching love, peace, and obedience to the Church. She was incisive in both word and deed. She left behind 382 letters, 22 orations, and 25 elevations. She was canonized in 1461, proclaimed patron saint of Italy in 1939, and a Doctor of the Church in 1970.
Featuring: Performances by Antonetta Carrabs – Iride Enza Funari – Anna Pennati.
Featuring Silvia Vavassori (lute and voice) and Tommaso Petracchi (recorder).
Curated by Antonetta Carrabs. In collaboration with the Casa della Poesia of Monza and the ProMusica Aps ETS Association.
