Ricci Foundation - August 2nd, 2026 Barga
The summer concert season of the Fondazione Ricci has concluded with extraordinary success. This year, the season was entrusted to pianist Andrea Bacchetti, the protagonist of an evening that represented an authentic musical event of the highest level.
For over two hours, the celebrated performer guided the audience through the universe of Johann Sebastian Bach, performing the complete first volume of The Well-Tempered Clavier.
He played with the interpretive depth, elegance, and extraordinary technical mastery that make him one of the leading Italian pianists on the international scene.

The hall, packed to capacity, welcomed an attentive and knowledgeable audience of true music enthusiasts. They
followed the concert with engaged silence and rare listening intensity.
The long and warm final applause testified to the deep appreciation for a performance that will remain among the most significant musical events hosted by the Ricci Foundation. Confirming the interest sparked by the initiative, the concert drew spectators not only from the province of Lucca, but also from other cities in Tuscany and outside the region. As usual, there was also a large presence from the international community living in Barga, which has always been attentive and involved in the high-profile cultural offerings promoted by the Foundation.
Today also marks the conclusion of the exhibition "La Felice Magia. Scene e costumi di Gillian Armitage Hunt: dal teatro inglese a Opera Barga" (The Happy Magic. Scenes and costumes by Gillian Armitage Hunt: from English theatre to Opera Barga), which received warm appreciation from both the public and critics.
The exhibition was enriched by four concerts organized in collaboration with the Ensemble ArmonicaMente, creating an original dialogue between visual arts and music that represented one of the distinctive elements of the entire cultural project.
The Ricci Foundation wishes to thank everyone who contributed to the success of the event: the artists, the collaborators, the volunteers, and the large audience that was always present.
