St Magnus International Festival
St Magnus International Festival is Orkney’s annual celebration of the arts. Musical events are at the heart of the artistic programme, the Festival also encompasses drama, dance, literature and visual arts.
The Italian Institute is very proud to be associated with the St Magnus International Festival 2014.
A number of events have been programmed to commemorate the creation of the Italian Chapel and the release of the Italian Prisoners of War in 1944.
The Festival makes use of various venues around Orkney, from the Romanesque grandeur of St Magnus Cathedral to the poignant intimacy of the Italian Chapel.
The exquisite combination of two lutes and voice from one of Italy’s most highlyregarded early music ensembles will transport you to another time, another place and promises to be an intimate experience in one of Orkney’s most iconic buildings. There will be a brief address by His Excellency Pasquale Terraciano, the Italian Ambassador to the UK and the Director of Italian Cultural Institute Dr Stefania Del Bravo.
