Starting from the the St. Nicholas church, the municipal music band of Moena parades along the main road, which is closed to traffic, until it reaches the events pavilion, where it performs a selection of the most beautiful traditional and modern pieces from its repertoire
The municipal band of Moena has been part of village life since the mid-19th century, becoming an essential part of every festival, religious celebration and civil holiday. A symbolic moment in its history dates back to 1858, when it was asked to perform officially during the visit of Archduke Charles Louis of Austria to Cavalese. It was then that the idea of performing in uniform was born, inaugurating a visual identity - red, white and blue - that still distinguishes it today. After the inevitable interruptions during the First and Second World Wars, the band returned to playing with renewed enthusiasm, thanks in part to the guidance of Maestro Luigi Canori, a well-known composer from Moena. He composed "Forti e baldi", the piece that opens the summer concerts with its proud and rousing spirit.
In collaboration with the "Il Pentagramma" music school, the band promotes courses for children and adults to pass on a love of music and introduce new generations to band playing. It is precisely this ability to bring together different ages, experiences and personal stories that makes it one of the most authentic expressions of Moena's identity: a lively, dynamic reality that is always ready to take on new musical challenges under the expert and charismatic guidance of bandmaster Roberto Silvagni, who has been conducting the group since 2020.
In case of bad weather, only the concert will be held in the events pavilion.
