Ravello Festival 2025: Program, Concerts, and Highlights of an Unforgettable Summer
When great music meets the most beautiful landscape in the world, something unique is born: the Ravello Festival 2025. From July 6 to August 25, the Amalfi Coast becomes the stage for emotions with the 73rd edition of one of the most iconic festivals in the international scene. This year's edition, supported by the Campania Region and the Ravello Foundation, promises to be extraordinary in artistic richness and evocative atmospheres: 15 evenings featuring classical, baroque, jazz, and soundtrack repertoire, set against the magical backdrop of Villa Rufolo overlooking the sea.
The Ravello Festival 2025 is much more than a series of concerts: it is an experience that engages all the senses, thanks to the harmonious fusion of music, nature, and art. The goal, as emphasized by President Alessio Vlad, is to ensure quality, continuity, and an ethical dialogue between culture, education, and environmental protection. The presence of great orchestras – from the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra – and world-renowned soloists such as Yuja Wang, Daniel Harding, Myung-Whun Chung, Kent Nagano, Stefano Bollani, and Michael Spyres transforms Ravello into the Italian capital of musical excellence.
Not just big names: the Festival also focuses on young talents, collaborations with Campanian musical institutions, and exclusive projects, such as the involvement of Anselm Kiefer and the extraordinary inauguration with “L’Orfeo” by Monteverdi, in the transcription by Luciano Berio.
If you dream of a summer filled with emotions among the scents of lemons and the sound of waves, the Ravello Festival 2025 awaits you on the Amalfi Coast.

The lineup for the Ravello Festival 2025 opens on July 6 with an exclusive concert by Jérémie Rhorer and his Le Cercle de l’Harmonie, an orchestra specializing in the historical performance of classical and romantic repertoire. Following this, the stage at the Belvedere of Villa Rufolo will host:
- Orchestra of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia conducted by Daniel Harding (July 12), featuring music by Mahler, Brahms, and Wagner.
- Mahler Chamber Orchestra with the extraordinary Yuja Wang both as pianist and conductor (July 13), engaged in a unique mix of Beethoven, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, and Kapustin.
- La Scala Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Myung-Whun Chung (July 19), featuring young talent Mao Fujita.
- SWR Symphony Orchestra of Stuttgart conducted by Robert Treviño (July 25) with an entirely Wagnerian program, paying tribute to the historical connection between Wagner and Ravello.
There are also events dedicated to jazz and crossovers, such as the tribute concert to Oscar Peterson (July 31), the homage to Ella Fitzgerald with the Salerno Jazz Orchestra (August 1), and the bandoneón of Richard Galliano (August 2).
Among the most anticipated moments is the Dawn Concert on August 11 with the “Giuseppe Verdi” Philharmonic Orchestra of Salerno: a ritual that combines the magic of sunrise with the power of symphonic music.
