Special Stage 2026: Milan Hosts the Finale of the Project That Brings Music to Hospitals
On November 15, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., Santeria Toscana 31 in Milan will host the Special Stage finale. Eight artists will take the stage to celebrate a journey that combines music with social commitment.
Special Stage 2026: Music Meets Social Commitment
Music can forge connections and create opportunities for interaction even in sensitive settings such as hospitals. It is from this perspective that Special Stage was developed—a project that brings music into hospitals throughout the year, involving artists and musical initiatives in an experience that puts patients at the center.
The initiative will culminate on Sunday, November 15, 2026, with the Special Stage finale, scheduled for 5:00 p.m. at Santeria Toscana 31, located at Viale Toscana 31 in Milan.
Eight musical projects—the stars of the activities held throughout the year—will take the stage to compete for the awards and share the results of their artistic journey with the audience.
Support from the Fondazione Donald De Sanctis and the De Sanctis Award
The Fondazione Donald De Sanctis supports Special Stage, helping to promote an initiative that brings together artistic expression, participation, and a focus on the social dimension of culture.
The De Sanctis Award, presented to the runner-up, is also scheduled for the 2026 edition. The award includes a commemorative plaque and a gift certificate worth 1,000 euros, which can be used to purchase professional musical instruments.
The award represents a tangible opportunity to support the artistic journey of the winning project, fostering its growth and development through tools essential to its musical activity.
The on-stage presentation of the award will also serve as an opportunity to share with the audience the collaboration between the Fondazione Donald De Sanctis and Special Stage, highlighting the value of synergies between cultural organizations and projects that use music as a tool for participation.
Eight Musical Projects for the Special Stage Finals
The finals will bring together eight music projects that have performed in hospitals throughout the year. The evening will mark the culmination of this journey and an opportunity to get to know the participating artists up close.
The winning project will be announced at the end of the finals. Alongside the main award, the De Sanctis Prize will honor the runner-up, offering tangible support for their musical future.
The initiative is part of a cultural vision that recognizes music’s role in fostering connections and providing a space for creativity to promote shared experiences.
