International Chamber Music Festival of Cervo

International Chamber Music Festival of Cervo

The first International Chamber Music Festival of Cervo was inaugurated in 1964, the brainchild of the renowned Hungarian violinist Sandor Vegh. It is held every summer in the picturesque church square (July – August). Among the world-class stars who have performed are Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Sviatoslav Richter, Wilhelm Kempff, Maurizio Pollini, Yehudi Menuhin, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Martha Argerich, Uto Ughi, Mozarteum Camerata, Ivo Pogorelić, Andras Schiff, Luciano Berio, F. P. Zimmermann, François Thiollier, Paul Badura-Skoda, the King's Singers, Rudolf Buchbinder, Cyprien Katsaris, Joseph Silverstein, Pietro De Maria, Viktoria Mullova, Ulf Hoelscher, David Geringas, Arnulf von Arnim, Timothy Park, Monika Leskovar, Boris Andrianov, Salvatore Accardo, Fazil Say, and Hyun-Sun Kim.

The square before the Corallini Church in Cervo has had the honour of hosting performances by all of them.

A smug albeit straightforward description of the qualities of this festival, from the charming square where it is held to the medieval architecture ennobling the field of vision, is thus inadequate, for each fabulous stone in this place has been exalted and made immortal by the passage of these stars of classical music.
