Giovanni Allevi reveals the special guest for the Taormina concert on July 5th

After the silence imposed by illness, Giovanni Allevi returns to speak to his audience with the most authentic language he knows: that of notes. The summer of 2025 marks the return of an artist who has gone through pain and made it into melody, who has lived the darkness and has chosen to tell it with the light of music. With four exclusive concert events in some of the most evocative locations in Italy in Rome, Taormina, Venice and Florence, “Musica dall'Anima” comes to life, a unique, intense project, designed to celebrate life in all its nuances. The Taormina event is organized by Show Biz, Live Spettacoli, Concerto and Gamp.

Giovanni Allevi is not just a musician: he is a composer, pianist, philosopher, writer. He is a composer capable of speaking to the new generations, breaking down the walls between classical and contemporary. His career, between international stages and prestigious awards, between best-selling books and personal battles, is today a manifesto for many young people and not only.
