On Sunday 8 March at 4:00 pm, a magical musical afternoon awaits children and families in Cremona, the world capital of violin making.
Family-friendly routes and interactive activities
In the spectacular Auditorium Giovanni Arvedi inside the Museo del Violino violin museum the Ensemble of the Conservatorio Claudio Monteverdi will present a special concert. The event is designed to introduce young audiences to the enchanting world of music and violins, and reflects the museum’s strong commitment to younger generations.
