Hotel Tamaro and the Ascona Music Weeks
The most prestigious classical music festival in Italian-speaking Switzerland, it was founded at Hotel Tamaro in 1946, just after the Second World War. Initially, the first concerts took place in the hotel’s ballroom, offering artists a warm, intimate setting in an Europe still marked by the conflict.
Today, the festival is held in the region’s most evocative churches, including the Church of San Francesco in Locarno and the Church of Collegio Papio in Ascona. Their unique atmosphere turns every concert into an unforgettable experience.
