Next summer, there will be 13 events of the 24th Emilia Romagna Festival which will be held in the municipalities of the province of Ravenna, as part of an edition of the program which, from 27 June to 11 September, will propose 55 cultural events involving 20 municipalities between Bologna, Ravenna, Forlì-Cesena and Ferrara. Now far from the restrictive label of “classical music only”, Erf 2024 will embrace multidisciplinarity more than ever, with the aim of bringing classical music to an increasingly wider and more varied audience. This is thanks to great performers such as Ramin Bahrami on 27 June in Imola, the Venice Monteverdi Academy on 3 July in Forlì, Noa on 30 July in Comacchio, Peppe Servillo on 4 July in Pomposa and Danilo Rea on 1 August in Cesena.
