Liliana Sommariva will perform a concert at Villa Erba in Cernobbio, Italy on October 4, 2026.

Her work frequently explores themes of nature, silence, and the subtle nuances of sound. She has released several albums on established experimental music labels and her compositions have been featured in international festivals and installations.

Villa Erba is a historic villa located on the shores of Lake Como. Originally commissioned in the 16th century, it underwent significant renovations in the 19th century under the direction of architect Luigi Canonica for the Erba family, prominent silk manufacturers. The villa showcases a blend of architectural styles including Renaissance and Neoclassical influences. Today, it functions as a conference and exhibition center while retaining its opulent interiors and extensive gardens. It is recognized as a notable example of Lombard architecture and frequently hosts cultural events due to its historical significance and aesthetic appeal.
