From June to October the usual appointment with concerts in Val Tidone. A program of concerts in places of particular historical, architectural and naturalistic interest in the valley.

Among the collateral initiatives of the Val Tidone Festiva will be the “Val Tidone Music Hours”, “virtual happy hours”, in which you will find yourself having an aperitif with musicologists, journalists and musicians in informal contexts and online on the social channels of the Val Tidone Musica Foundation (Facebook, YouTube). It will be an opportunity to talk freely about music, to deepen the program of the Val Tidone Festival, to hear from the artists’ voices what is the design idea underlying the show staged etc.
