Chianti in Musica Chianti in Musica takes place in San Donato in Poggio, a wonderful medieval village halfway between Florence and Siena, which since 2023 has been part of the Borghi più Belli d’Italia.
The event, traditionally held between late July and early August, will take place at the end of August this year. Since 2006, it has featured instrumental and ensemble music courses, musical aperitifs, and concerts.
Palazzo Malaspina - a late Renaissance building recovered and enhanced through a major restoration project by the Municipality of Barberino Tavarnelle - hosts the courses and secretariat of Chianti in Musica. The primary school of San Donato in Poggio hosts the students for study.
The Theatre of the Philharmonic Circle is the venue for the piano masterclass lessons.

A wine tasting, courtesy of the Chianti Classico Wine Consortium, will follow the concerts.
On Thursday, August 28, at 9:30 PM, the church will host the course teachers, who, as every year, will delight locals and tourists with their highly acclaimed concert.
