Celebrating Saint Cecilia - patron saint of music and musicians.

Music is hugely important in the cultural landscape of Castelbuono, Sicily.

This November, like every November, we celebrate with a recital by the ‘Loreto Perrini’ marching band, held in one of the most impressive churches in Castelbuono, the Matrice Vecchia (Chiesa Maria Santissima Assunta)

Sunday 23rd November 2025 10:30 - The Old Mother Church of Castelbuono - La Matrice Vecchia - hosts a concert showcasing the Loreto Perrini Band. There’s also the presentation of a painting in honour of Santa Cecilia by local artist, M. Francesco Licciardi. Please note: this performance forms part of a holy mass so it goes without saying that full respect is essential.

Sunday 23rd November 2025 11:30 - The music continues in Piazza Margherita in front of the Matrice Vecchia and Torre dell’Orolgio (clock tower) with a musical exhibition from both the adult band and contributions from the younger players.

Anche quest'anno siamo pronti a festeggiare Santa Cecilia, patrona della musica e dei musicisti.

Domenica 23 novembre invece la nostra associazione animerà la messa delle ore 10.30 alla Matrice Vecchia, durante la quale sarà presentato alla cittadinanza il dipinto realizzato e donato dal nostro socio, maestro Francesco Licciardi, raffigurante Santa Cecilia.

A seguire alle 11.30 in piazza Margherita , esibizione musicale della banda.
