Concert in collaboration with Ceresio Estate
Sunday 17 May 2026 · 19.00 · Sala Boccadoro, Via dei Somazzi 4, Montagnola ♿
This concert offers a special moment in which music and poetry meet in a surprising way. Serena Farnocchia and Paolo Raffo lead the evening in a refined dialogue between voice and piano, interpreting selected poems by Hermann Hesse and creating a vivid exchange between word and sound.
Hesse’s texts continue to resonate with composers and musicians around the world thanks to their inherent musicality, inviting reflection on life, art, and the human soul. The concert provides an opportunity to experience, through a contemporary approach, the timeless power of Hesse’s work – allowing the audience to be carried away, in an intimate and evocative atmosphere, by the connection between poetry and music.
The musical programme will be announced at a later date.
The Museo Hermann Hesse Montagnola will be open free of charge from 17.30 to 18.45.
