This spring, the Civic Theatre Museum “Carlo Schmidl” and the Giuseppe Tartini Conservatory will present a new edition of Le Stanze della Musica, a program that brings live performance into the museum galleries and highlights the city’s musical heritage.
The Spring 2026 series includes eight Wednesday events in March and April, each dedicated to a different family of instruments from the Schmidl Museum’s collection of nearly 1,000 historical pieces. Conservatory students and faculty will introduce the instruments through guided visits and live performances at the museum’s Palazzo Gopcevich headquarters.
Each event will be held twice: at 11 a.m. for school groups (by reservation) and at 5:30 p.m. for the general public. Tickets are included with regular museum admission, with reduced rates for students and schools.
The program opens on March 4 with a focus on brass instruments and continues with sessions on the accordion, double bass, piano, harp, clarinet, strings, and oboe and bassoon, concluding on April 29. There will be no event on April 8.
Organizers describe the series as an educational initiative that connects museum collections with music training, offering students stage experience while inviting new audiences—especially younger ones—to encounter historical instruments through sound as well as sight.
