These concerts took place in 3 different cities on July 14, 15 & 16, 2023 in the cities of Grosseto, Orbetello, and Castiglione della Pescaia. The soloists for these concerts were pianists Mikhail Kambarov (Grosseto & Castiglione) – winner of the Scriabin competition in Grosseto, and Yuewen Yu (Orbetello) – winner of the Orbetello Piano Competition.
