As part of the "Music bands at altitude" initiative, concert by the Trento city music corps
The mountains become a stage, the band the soundtrack. "Bande in vetta" is back, the festival that brings Trentino bands to alpine refuges for an experience of walking, music and nature. From 22 June to 28 September 2025, every Sunday morning, a mountain refuge will host an open-air concert: brass and woodwind instruments will blend with the sounds of the forest, the peaks and the silence. Walk, listen, breathe: this is the invitation that accompanies this year's event, promoted by the Federation of Bands in collaboration with the Trentino Mountain Huts and with the support of the Autonomous Province of Trento. Folk music, soundtracks and original repertoires will accompany hikers until early afternoon, for a slow-paced encounter between culture and landscape.
On Sunday 6 July from 10:30 a.m. to early afternoon at the Torquato Taramelli Rifugio, concert by the Trento city music corps. The mountain hut can be reached in about 1.30 hours on foot from the "Vidor" car park (shuttle service available to Malga Monzoni for a fee).
The Trento city music corps, founded in 1801, is the oldest band in Trentino and has over fifty musicians, mainly young people. Under the direction of Maestro Fabrizio Zanon, the repertoire includes traditional band scores, international compositions, transcriptions of classics, soundtracks and songs of military origin. The band performs at major city events and also represents Trento at institutional events abroad, promoting local musical culture with a touch of modernity and musical diversity.
