For more than 20 years the Associazione in Musica Limes has been promoting cultural and musical diversity on Lake Garda and was started with the intention of spreading classical music and musical education in this area and making use of local culture, traditions, history and its natural beauty.

The name Limes comes from the Limone area where the association was started and where it has its headquarters  but “limes” also means a barrier, a border, which can and should be overcome. The borders between Music and Nature  will disappear. Music is introduced in a holistic way, like art that takes its inspiration from nature.

Every year the International Chamber Music Festival includes an aspect of the territory and nature of the Brescia side of Lake Garda : “aque” meaning a spring or fountain, “cuen” – shelters in the rocks, “papillio” – butterflies, “senter” as in tracks or footpaths (and also to hear or to feel), “Aves”, like the birds and “Flores” as in flowers. All this can be found and beautifully photographed as part of Lake Garda’s nature.

This is why Cultura in Musica Limes wants to offer, not simply classical music concerts, but with the intention that, at the same time, they will promote the culture, history, traditions and the territory’s nature. Every year we publish a programme (here you can see previous years’) which gives the dates and concert details, the description of the places and historical buildings where the concerts take place, and real research into the territory.

The 2019 programme will be themed, musically and  photographically,  around WOOD (Lignum).

Cultura in Musica Limes presents its concerts in historic buildings of great architectural value, in old churches and in the open air, also in places near the shores of Lake Garda: the Lido Palace in Riva del Garda, the Church of San Giovanni in Pieve di Tremosine, the Sanctuary of Monte Castello, Bettoni Palace in Bogliaco/Gargnano, the San Tommaso Convent in Villa di Gargnano, Villa Sostaga in Navazzo/Gargnano, the Church of St. Peter and Paul in Toscolano Maderno, Villa Alba in Gardone which is particularly suitable and well known location for chamber music.

All these places will host our concerts during the warmest months of the year, some by moonlight, some in welcoming venues, but all events will have a special meaning.

Since 2018 the Associazione in Musica Limes promotes Limes Music Academy.
