Programme

The traditional "Piano Festivals" continue with the major manufacturers — Yamaha & Bösendorfer, Fazioli, Steinway & Sons, Kawai, Steingraeber and Petrof — hosting recitals by renowned artists in their own spaces. Two international competitions are organised every year in cooperation with Yamaha Italy: the PianoLink International Amateurs Piano Competition (amateur pianists) and the Disklavier Composers Contest (composers using self-playing piano technology).

The fair around it

Cremona Musica brings five areas together — Mondomusica, Piano Experience, Acoustic Guitar Village, Electric Sound Village and Accordion Show — covering strings, pianos, guitars, accordions and music publishing. The 2025 edition reported operators and musicians from 74 countries and exhibitors from 30 countries. A rich events programme of concerts, meetings, seminars and international conferences runs throughout the show, and the festival extends into the city of Cremona with concerts in historic venues plus guided tours to the Violin Museum. Ticket holders receive reduced admission to the Violin Museum and the Museo Civico during the fair days, and a dedicated shuttle bus service runs for the duration of the event.
