The South Tyrolean capital of Bolzano, recently designated a UNESCO Creative City of Music, is once again preparing to host one of Europe’s most prestigious cultural events in the summer of 2025: the Bolzano Festival Bozen. Each year, the festival brings together exceptional creative talents, as students from top international music academies collaborate with world-class soloists and conductors to present concerts of the highest artistic quality. Throughout the city, the air is filled with the energy of discovery and shared passion for classical music. Bolzano Festival Bozen is more than a series of concerts – it is a unique cultural platform that unites four key components of the city’s musical identity: the Antiqua Festival of Early Music, the Gustav Mahler Academy, the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition, and the two prestigious youth orchestras-in-residence, the European Union Youth Orchestra and the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra. Founded by Claudio Abbado, these ensembles symbolize a shared European vision and have found their summer home in Bolzano. The festival offers a rich and diverse program, where young talent and legendary musicians come together to rehearse, perform, and inspire. Among the highlights of the 2025 edition are the final rounds of the renowned Ferruccio Busoni Piano Competition, a performance by Sir John Eliot Gardiner with the Mahler Academy Orchestra as they explore the authentic soundscapes of early 20th-century music, and the celebrated cellist Pablo Ferrández – often referred to as “the new Yo-Yo Ma” – performing with the European Union Youth Orchestra under the baton of Vasily Petrenko. Also appearing are violinist Sayaka Shoji with the Bolzano String Academy, and acclaimed performers Alina Ibragimova and Renaud Capuçon, who will join the EUYO and GMJO under Iván Fischer and Manfred Honeck, respectively. For a festival whose founding motto is “music and youth,” it’s only natural that children and young audiences are not just welcomed, but encouraged to attend. In 2025, the festival’s family-friendly offerings are being expanded even further. Children are often far more open to classical music than one might expect. In fact, during the so-called “open-eared” phase – typically the first ten years of life – they show remarkable receptiveness and curiosity, even toward complex or contemporary works. This makes it an ideal time to introduce them to the world of classical music in an engaging, meaningful way. On August 14 at 7:30 PM at the Bolzano Municipal Theatre, the European Union Youth Orchestra will perform with violinist Alina Ibragimova under the direction of Iván Fischer. Prior to the concert, there will be a special introduction to the evening's program, focusing on Stravinsky’s The Firebird. Audiences will explore the Russian folktale that inspired the famous ballet and, with help from the musicians, learn to recognize musical motifs that will reappear during the performance. This introduction will be presented bilingually in Italian and German. Another special opportunity will take place on September 6 at the Bolzano Municipal Theatre (time to be confirmed), when the public is invited to attend the orchestral rehearsal for the Busoni Competition’s grand final. Since the final performance, accompanied by the Haydn Orchestra, is traditionally sold out and broadcast live on Italian television and streamed worldwide, this rehearsal offers young music lovers a rare chance to experience the intensity and behind-the-scenes atmosphere of a major international event. The theatre will be abuzz with activity, as the RAI sets up its equipment and prepares for the live transmission. Broadcast professionals will be on hand to explain how a concert is brought to audiences across the globe.

Join us on the evening of August 7 for an engaging and creative event with Isabella Halbeisen! She will captivate young audiences with a lively reading (in German) from her children’s book, "Erste Hilfe! Alles klar?". After the story, quiz & book giveaway – can you solve the riddle? Join us at the Rathausplatz town hall square in Lana from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM. Readings will take place at 7:30 p.m.

When it comes to moving young generations, Lana combines two things above all: sport and fun! As part of "Lana23°°", a sprint competition for children will take place on 07 August. The event starts behind the Mariahilf Lana pharmacy and then heads towards the Gaulschlucht gorge.

The San Martino in Badia Band from Val Badia warmly invites you to a delightful concert evening in Selva di Val Gardena. The roots of the band go back to 1921, when it was founded by teacher and conductor Tone Gasser. After several interruptions, the band became a vibrant musical group, and has been a member of the South Tyrolean Band Association (VSM) since 1971. In 2021, it celebrated its 100th anniversary. The band counts 66 members in total, including 53 musicians, six standard bearers (marketenderinnen), and seven flag bearers. It brings together several generations and stands out for its strong presence of young members and women: 34 women and 32 men, making it the band with the highest female representation in all of Val Badia. Since 1984, the band has worn its current uniform, a variation of the traditional Puster Valley festive costume adapted to the Ladin tradition. Women wear two different costume styles, depending on whether they are musicians or standard bearers – the latter are recognizable by their black hats, silver belts, and small barrels or flower horns. Each year, around 45 rehearsals are held – including full rehearsals, sectionals, and marching practices – which not only improve musical performance but also strengthen camaraderie. The social time after rehearsals is especially cherished by the members. Look forward to a diverse and spirited concert full of tradition, passion, and community spirit!
