You'll spot posters for city
events at Piazza
Matteotti, and the Siena
supplement of
La Nazione
newspaper has details of the
day's concerts and films.
You can catch
live bands
at
L'Officina bar,
Piazza del Sale 3a, and at
the disco-bar
Al Cambio
, Via di Pantaneto 48, but
otherwise your only chances
are at the low-key
Siena
Jazz in the last week of
July and the gigs organized
for the PDS-Communist Party
Festa
dell'Unitį throughout
the summer.
Siena has prestigious classical
concerts throughout the
year. The Accademia Chigiana
is the driving force,
staging the Estate
Musicale Chigiana cycle
all summer, and the Settimana
Musicale Senese in late
July, often featuring a
major opera production.
Venues vary from the duomo
and Sant'Agostino to
out-of-town locations such
as the atmospheric ruined
abbey of San Galgano.
Tickets start at
L15,000/?7.75, bookable
through the tourist office
or from mid-July onwards in
person at the Accademia
Chigiana, Via di Cittą 89
(daily 3-7pm; tel
