In the historic heart of Leverano, beneath the ancient arches of the Convent of S. Maria delle Grazie, a unique musical experience unfolds. The Association La Quartaran returns with the second edition of 'L'anima se vive emozioni', a show that translates to 'the soul lives through emotions'—a title that captures the essence of this intimate evening perfectly.
Music in a Sacred Space
The chiostro (cloister) of the convent provides an extraordinary acoustic and visual backdrop. Stone columns frame the open sky, while the warm glow of evening light filters through the arches. The setting itself becomes part of the performance, adding layers of history and spirituality to every note played.
This isn't a traditional concert hall experience—it's something far more personal. The performers and audience share the same intimate space, creating a connection that's rare in larger venues.
Where Tradition Meets Emotion
La Quartaran has earned a reputation for curating events that honor Puglia's rich cultural heritage while embracing contemporary artistic expression. This second edition builds on the success of the first, promising an evening where live music becomes a conversation between past and present.
The show draws on the deep well of southern Italian musical tradition, from folk melodies to modern interpretations. Expect performances that range from haunting solo pieces to ensemble arrangements that fill the cloister with sound.
What to Expect
- Intimate acoustic performances that showcase the natural resonance of the historic space
- A blend of traditional Puglian music and contemporary compositions
- The chance to experience a Renaissance-era cloister after sunset
- An atmosphere that encourages quiet reflection and emotional connection
- A genuine slice of Leverano's living cultural scene
Beyond the Cloister
Leverano sits in the heart of wine country, surrounded by vineyards producing some of Puglia's most celebrated vini. Before or after the performance, take time to wander the town's narrow streets, where baroque balconies overhang cobblestone lanes. The town's central piazza comes alive in the evening, with locals gathering for aperitivo and conversation.
If you're making an evening of it, the nearby town of Copertino—just fifteen minutes north—boasts an impressive castle, while the Ionian coast lies a short drive to the west. But the real magic is here, in this cloister, where music and history intertwine under the Puglian sky.
