DESCRIPTION:Jul 18-22\, 2026\nIn Italian\, Maestro is not just the honorifi
 c of a legendary conductor but also\, quite simply\, the word for a teache
 r. In Riccardo Muti\, those meanings combine. Italy\, as he notes with pri
 de\, has 61 UNESCO World Heritage sites—more than any country in the wor
 ld (China\, with 32 times the land mass\, has 60). But there’s no end of
  other atmospheric locales\, which Muti fills with sublime music whenever 
 he can. For this summer’s brief tour to Pompei (July 18)\, Lucca (July 2
 0)\, and Ostuni (July 22)\, he has invited conservatory students to work s
 ide by side with the professionals of his Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra
 —“because” he writes\, “music is learned above all through sharing
 . Playing together means listening to one another\, showing respect\, and 
 taking on a shared responsibility.” His all-Italian program includes sel
 ections of Verdi\, Puccini\, Rossini\, Mascagni\, Leoncavallo\, Catalani\,
  and his own early teacher Nino Rota (internationally renowned for the sou
 ndtracks he wrote for Federico Fellini). “These are not merely great nam
 es in our musical history\,” the maestro writes. “This music is a remi
 nder of the fundamental role Italy has played—and can continue to play
 —a fundamental role in shaping a shared cultural consciousness. Culture 
 must not be reserved for a few. It belongs to everyone. To believe in musi
 c today means to believe in the future of our country.”
