The concert in the piazza is always a good solution to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Florence, Italy.
Again for the coming December 31, 2018 there are many proposals in Florence, not just one concert but many different concerts in different piazzas, in the centre or in the suburbs, to satisfy all musical preferences.
The most spectacular event awaited by young people, as in the last editions, is the big concert (pop/rock/rap music) at Piazzale Michelangelo. Three famous artists (Francesco Renga, Baby K and Lorenzo Baglioni) will perform in this breathtaking scenery from 11 pm to 2 am.
For the other locations, according to tradition Piazza Signoria will be dedicated to classical music: here, at 11pm, the Florentine Chamber Orchestra and the Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, conducted by Giuseppe Lanzetta, will perform traditional Viennese music and famous opera arias.
Still in the center, but in the Oltrarno district (piazza santo Spirito and around) Gospel & Jazz music will be on stage. In particular, in Piazza del Carmine, from 10 pm, the gospel music of the ‘Pilgrims’ and that of ‘Eric Waddell & The abundant life singers’. Furthermore, the “Large Street band” will play funky-jazz music walking along the streets of Oltrarno, like the American marching bands,
The Manifattura Tabacchi (Piazza Puccini/Cascine area) will be animated by the performances of electronic music (Joan Thiele, Myss Keta) and special effects such as video projections and fireworks. Last but not least, at the Anconella Park (South Florence, along the river Arno), there will be the special circurs of “Cirk Fantastic”, starting from 4pm
Free entrance to all concerts.
A shuttle bus network will be guaranteed for the occasion. Details will be soon available on the website of the City of Florence and the Ataf website.
