This morning, at the NH Lingotto Hotel, President Paola Giubergia and Director Luca Mortarotti presented the 2026-2027 Lingotto Musica Season: a program that brings together great names from the international scene—John Eliot Gardiner, Daniele Gatti, Antonio Pappano, Daniil Trifonov, Philippe Jaroussky—and an emerging generation that includes Alexandre Kantorow, Tarmo Peltokoski, Kian Soltani, and Eric Lu, the recent winner of the 2025 Chopin Competition. The programming consolidates the series now familiar to audiences—I Concerti del Lingotto, I Pianisti del Lingotto, Lingotto Musica OFF—and inaugurates Lingotto Musica Educational, a program that brings together all initiatives aimed at younger generations under a single banner. Alongside an extraordinary event dedicated to the Suzuki world, the 2026-2027 Season also marks, for the first time, the transition from hosting to producing new repertoire, promoting the creative process by commissioning an original work from Giovanni Sollima: a tribute to Beethoven on the bicentennial of his death.
I Concerti del Lingotto
The cornerstone of Lingotto Musica’s programming is I Concerti del Lingotto, a series of eight single-evening events (at 8:30 PM) running from October 29, 2026, to May 10, 2027, taking place at the Giovanni Agnelli Auditorium in Turin (Via Nizza 280). Once again this year, the schedule balances the return of acclaimed international artists with highly anticipated debuts. Among the returning guests are John Eliot Gardiner with his new Constellation Orchestra project, Daniele Gatti with the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden, Antonio Pappano and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Marc Minkowski and his Musiciens du Louvre, and Daniil Trifonov performing a solo recital. Making their first appearances as guests at Lingotto will be countertenor Philippe Jaroussky—accompanied by Jean-Christophe Spinosi and his Ensemble Matheus—and soloists Alexandre Kantorow (piano), Vilde Frang (violin), and Kian Soltani (cello), not to mention the conductors: Tarmo Peltokoski, leading the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, and Krzysztof Urbański with the Warsaw Symphony Orchestra.
I Pianisti del Lingotto
Alongside the major symphonic concerts in the Auditorium, Lingotto Musica presents, in the more intimate atmosphere of Sala 500, the I Pianisti del Lingotto series dedicated to solo piano. Five single-evening events from November 20, 2026, to April 1, 2027, all at 8:30 PM, will feature five virtuosos: Lucas Debargue, Yulianna Avdeeva, Angela Hewitt, Eric Lu, and Leif Ove Andsnes. Each brings their own artistic individuality and repertoire of choice to the stage, with programs spanning the entire range of keyboard production from Bach to the twentieth century.
Lingotto Musica OFF
Beyond the two main series within the Lingotto spaces, the Association aims to expand its presence through the Lingotto Musica OFF series in iconic locations across the city and beyond, with the goal of taking music outside its traditional listening spaces and engaging a diverse, cross-sectional audience. With a total of six events, the 2026-2027 Season renews and expands its collaborations. The summer opens in the courtyard of Palazzo Biandrate with three chamber music evenings in collaboration with the Museo Archivio Reale Mutua (July 2, 9, and 16), followed on July 7 by the unconventional THE OTHER CONCERT at the Scuola Holden. In autumn, on October 14, the National Automobile Museum will host an evening dedicated to Piazzolla, while between December 27 and 30, four concerts will close the calendar in the stunning setting of the Reggia di Venaria.
Other Activities
Based on the belief that the experience of live music contributes to personal growth, Lingotto Musica puts its concert activities at the service of younger generations. With Lingotto Musica Educational, this commitment now finds a complete form: a new name to unite and expand under a single framework the work the Association has long dedicated to youth and schools, ranging from workshops for elementary schools to projects, contests, and discounts for high schools, conservatories, and universities.
Alongside the season’s regular series, Lingotto Musica will host—on Monday, December 21 at 8:30 PM, at the Giovanni Agnelli Auditorium—a special event that carries the spirit of a collective celebration: La musica attraversa il tempo (Music Crosses Time) is the title of the closing concert of the Suzuki Year, the culmination of a period of citywide celebrations marking the fiftieth anniversary of the Suzuki method in Turin.
