Candia Between Art and Culture – A Journey to America

A musical journey to the New World

"A Journey to America" is the concert scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2026, in Candia Canavese, a small town overlooking the lake of the same name in the Province of Turin, in the Piedmontese Canavese area. The event is part of the "Candia Between Art and Culture" festival, a series of musical and cultural events that bring concerts, performances, and gatherings to the town's squares, churches, and public spaces throughout June.

The La Primavera band conducted by Maestro Bottino

The star of the evening is the La Primavera band, conducted by Maestro Simone Bottino. As the title suggests, the program takes the audience on an ideal journey overseas, featuring pieces and atmospheres inspired by the music and spirit of America. The concert will be held in the municipal marquee, a covered space that ensures the event can proceed even in case of bad weather.

The "Candia Between Art and Culture" festival

The initiative is part of a broader calendar promoted by the Municipality of Candia Canavese, which offers various music and culture events in June 2026. Other highlights of the festival include the Antiqua Concert by the Accademia del Ricercare, scheduled for June 21 at the Church of Santo Stefano al Monte, and the performance by the group I Tortillaz, planned for June 26 at the Via Castiglione playground.

Candia Canavese and its lake

Located just a few kilometers from Ivrea, Candia Canavese is best known for its lake, a protected area of great naturalistic value included in the Lake Candia Natural Park. The tradition of brass bands and village festivals is deeply rooted in the Canavese region and throughout Piedmont: events like this serve as a gathering point for the community and an opportunity for visitors to discover the cultural identity of a small lakeside village.

An event for everyone

Like most events in the municipal festival, "A Journey to America" is designed as a celebration open to all, from children to fans of band music. It is a simple and authentic way to spend an early summer evening immersed in culture, in one of the most characteristic locations in the Canavese area.
