Festival Internazionale Green Music 2027 is expected to continue its distinctive programme of music, nature, historic heritage and environmental sustainability across Umbria. Rather than taking place at one permanent festival ground, the event transforms villages, castles, vineyards, woods, lakeshores, historic buildings and other scenic locations into temporary concert venues.
The festival is conceived and directed by Umbrian pianist and composer Maurizio Mastrini and has developed a programme that combines classical music, jazz, contemporary music, vocal performances, international ensembles and crossover projects. The latest edition featured more than 70 free events across the region.
For 2027, visitors can expect the same emphasis on intimate performances in unusual natural and historic settings, with concerts designed to connect the music with the surrounding landscape. The exact programme, artists and locations for the 2027 edition have not yet been announced.

2027 festival period
June/September 2027 (Dates TBD)
The 2027 programme dates have not yet been announced. The festival traditionally operates across an extended summer period rather than concentrating all performances into a single weekend.
The latest edition followed a June-to-September format, with concerts distributed across numerous Umbrian municipalities.
Festival-wide venue network
Festival Internazionale Green Music does not use one fixed festival site. Its concept is based on bringing performances into the historic, natural and cultural spaces of Umbria.
Recent venues and locations have included:
The latest programme has involved locations in areas including Montefalco, Assisi, Orvieto, Montegabbione and Città della Pieve, while the wider programme has extended across many other Umbrian communities.
2027 artist programme
The complete 2027 lineup has not yet been announced.
The latest published edition featured a wide-ranging international programme. Artists and ensembles associated with the latest programme included:
The programme combines established Italian performers with international musicians and smaller chamber, jazz and crossover ensembles.
Featured Italian artists
Ermal Meta was among the major names presented in the latest edition, while Federico Zampaglione of Tiromancino brought a contemporary Italian singer-songwriter and rock-oriented presence to the programme. Giorgio Pasotti and Maurizio Mastrini also appeared together in a music-and-spoken-word project.
International performers
The festival also featured artists from several countries and musical traditions. Dekoor Close Harmony, a 35-member ensemble from Utrecht, combined jazz, gospel and pop influences, while international instrumentalists and vocalists expanded the programme beyond Italian repertoire.
Artistic direction
Maurizio Mastrini remains central to the festival’s artistic identity, combining his work as pianist and composer with the development of performances in unusual Umbrian locations.
Lieux historiques
Palaces, castles, churches and historic buildings provide formal concert environments where classical, chamber and vocal programmes can be presented in architecturally significant surroundings.
Natural theatres
The festival’s defining feature is its use of outdoor landscapes as performance spaces. Forests, lakesides, vineyards and rural locations become temporary concert settings.
Village squares
Public squares in Umbrian towns and villages allow the festival to integrate performances directly into local communities and historic centres.
Special-format locations
The programme can also include unusual experiences such as sunrise concerts, candlelit performances, vineyard concerts and music connected with wellness or thermal environments.
Main concert programme
There is no conventional multi-stage schedule because Green Music is structured as a travelling festival.
Each performance normally has its own location, artist programme and presentation format. Visitors therefore plan their festival experience by selecting individual concerts and destinations rather than moving between several stages within one festival site.
Recent examples included concerts at lakeside locations, historic palaces, vineyards, village squares, medieval fortifications and other scenic venues.
Concert schedule
Exact 2027 performance times have not been announced.
The festival uses varied performance times depending on the venue and concept. Traditional evening concerts can be accompanied by afternoon performances, sunset programmes and special sunrise events.
The latest programme included both conventional evening concerts and an “Alba sonora” format designed around the early morning landscape, demonstrating how performance times are adapted to the setting.
Visitors should check the individual concert listing before travelling because each event can have its own start time, venue access arrangements and reservation requirements.
Admission générale
Most Green Music concerts are free to attend, normally subject to advance reservation. The official festival website states that almost all concerts are free and provides a reservation telephone number and email for attendance requests.
Reserved admission
Some performances may require advance booking even when there is no admission charge because seating capacity at historic or natural venues can be limited.
Previous edition pricing
The latest published edition was promoted as a free-admission festival, so there is no previous paid ticket price to convert into USD.
Premium experiences
The festival does not operate primarily around conventional VIP ticketing. Its premium character comes from the venues and special-format performances rather than traditional VIP sections.
Some events can offer particularly limited-capacity settings, including historic residences, vineyards, natural landscapes, candlelit performances and special cultural experiences.
Accommodation and hospitality can also be arranged independently through recommended hotels and agriturismi listed by the festival.
Advance reservations
Although most concerts are free, visitors may need to reserve their place in advance. The official festival programme currently directs visitors to the festival’s reservation telephone number or email.
Venue-specific conditions
Rules can vary according to the individual location. Historic buildings, outdoor areas and natural venues may have different access, seating and capacity arrangements.
Respect for the environment
Environmental sustainability is an important part of the festival concept. The organisers have promoted concerts powered by solar energy and programmes designed to combine music with protection and appreciation of the Umbrian landscape.
En voiture
Because the festival moves between different Umbrian towns, driving is often the most practical option for visitors attending several performances in different locations.
Major destinations used by the festival can be reached through the regional road network connecting Perugia, Lake Trasimeno, Orvieto, Assisi, Montefalco and other Umbrian towns.
Visitors should check the individual concert venue before travelling because parking and access arrangements differ from one location to another.
Par train
Several of the larger Umbrian towns have railway connections, including Perugia, Assisi and other destinations served by the regional network. From the nearest station, visitors can continue by local bus, taxi or car depending on the concert location.
Public transport
Public transport options vary considerably because the festival uses many different venues. Regional buses can be useful for larger towns, while smaller villages and rural venues may require a taxi or private vehicle.
Parking
Parking is venue-dependent. Historic centres may have restricted traffic zones, while rural, vineyard and lakeside locations can have designated parking areas nearby.
Visitors should check the individual event information before travelling, particularly for concerts taking place in pedestrianised historic centres.
Pérouse
Perugia provides a convenient base for visitors who want access to a broad selection of hotels, guesthouses and transport connections.
Assise
Assisi is particularly suitable for combining Green Music performances with historic sightseeing and countryside accommodation. The festival’s recommended accommodation list includes properties in Assisi.
Lake Trasimeno
Castiglione del Lago, Passignano sul Trasimeno, Tuoro and surrounding areas offer hotels, residences and holiday accommodation close to several festival locations.
Città della Pieve and Panicale
These hill towns provide access to smaller historic venues and rural accommodation, including agriturismi.
Other Umbrian areas
The official accommodation directory also lists properties in Cannara, Magione, Marsciano, Massa Martana, Paciano, Piegaro, Porano and other locations.
Local Umbrian cuisine
Because the festival is distributed throughout Umbria, visitors can combine concerts with the region’s traditional restaurants, wineries, cafés and local food producers.
Vineyard experiences
Some performances take place at wineries and countryside properties, creating opportunities to combine music with local wine and food experiences.
A previous festival preview at Cantina Castel Noha included a concert alongside wine presentation, tasting and local products, illustrating the connection between Green Music and regional gastronomy.
Historic town dining
Concerts in village squares and historic centres allow visitors to dine at local restaurants before or after performances.
Accessible cultural programme
Accessibility varies according to the individual festival venue because Green Music takes place in historic buildings, outdoor landscapes, villages, castles and natural environments.
Some locations may have uneven surfaces, stairs, limited vehicle access or other physical constraints associated with historic and rural settings.
Visitors with specific accessibility requirements should contact the festival before attending to confirm access arrangements for the particular concert they plan to visit.
For major Italian artists
Choose the individual programme dates featuring artists such as Ermal Meta or other nationally recognised performers once the 2027 programme is announced.
For classical music
Look for piano recitals, chamber ensembles, vocal performances and programmes built around classical repertoire.
For jazz and crossover music
The festival regularly includes jazz, progressive and crossover performances, including international ensembles and projects combining classical traditions with modern styles.
For unique settings
The most distinctive experiences are often the performances connected with natural landscapes, historic buildings, vineyards, lakes and special sunrise or candlelit formats.
Tenth edition programme
The latest published edition expanded the festival to more than 70 free events across Umbria. The programme connected music with villages, castles, vineyards, woods, lakeshores and other historic or natural locations.
International artists
The programme included Dekoor Close Harmony from the Netherlands, Wojciech Swietonski from Poland, Kaoruko Kambe from Japan and the Gradus Jazz Trio from Spain, alongside Italian performers.
Immersive formats
Special formats included candlelit concerts, sunrise music and performances in unusual natural settings. One programme highlighted Carmine Padula performing film music with a string quintet at sunrise on the shores of Lake Trasimeno.
Environmental focus
The latest edition continued the festival’s sustainability theme, with organisers promoting solar-powered technical equipment and using the landscape itself as an integral part of the performance experience.

The event unites classical and acoustic music performances with rigorous environmental conservation and sustainable production practices across Umbrian natural reserves. Organizers prioritize unamplified sound in historic and natural settings to foster a deep connection between art and the Earth.
The majority of the festival events and open-air natural amphitheatre concerts are entirely free for all members of the public to attend. Visitors can walk directly into most performance sites without needing advance reservations or paid entry passes.
Concerts avoid heavy electronic bass and high-decibel amplification while scheduling events during daylight hours to respect local fauna activity cycles. Dedicated environmental monitors and zero-waste protocols ensure that nature reserves remain clean and completely undisturbed.
Attendees can utilize marked nature walking trails, electric mobility shuttles, and bicycle parking hubs to navigate between parking areas and concert sites. Car-pooling tools and traffic restrictions further minimize environmental impact around delicate regional heritage zones.
Interested individuals can join local volunteer programs, participate in ecological symposia, and support sustainable artisans at the green living market. Community involvement drives daily operations and fosters lasting cultural connections across the host Umbrian towns.
