About Colline in Musica

Colline in Musica brings world-class chamber music to the villages of the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato regions. The sixth edition, themed around 'Roots', visits Grinzane Cavour Castle on June 19, 2026, featuring a concert by the Trio Spectrum, an accordion ensemble recognized at the Castelfidardo International Competition. A free event at 6:30 PM in one of the most evocative settings in the province of Cuneooneo, nestled within the UNESCO-listed hills.

A festival that inhabits the hills

Colline in Musica is an itinerant chamber music festival that travels every year through the territories of the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato, bringing high-level concerts to castles, Romanesque churches, theaters, and symbolic landmarks of the UNESCO-listed hilly landscape. The festival is promoted by MUST in collaboration with the I'm Exchange Association as part of the Roero Cultural Events project. In 2026, it celebrates its sixth edition, developed around the theme of Roots: cultural memory, a sense of belonging to a territory, and the continuity of musical tradition in dialogue with modernity. The artistic direction is entrusted to Adrian Pinzaru.

The Grinzane Cavour stop

On June 19, 2026, at 6:30 PM, the festival stops in the municipality of Grinzane Cavour, in the province of Cuneo, inside the extraordinary Grinzane Cavour Castleโ€”an ancient medieval manor that overlooks the Barolo vineyards and served as the residence of Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour. This date is part of the weekend dedicated to young talents, a core identity of the event, which has always paired established performers with the new generation of musicians.

The Trio Spectrum

The star of the evening is the Trio Spectrum, an original accordion ensemble composed of Gabriele Caivano, Alfredo Barberio, and Nicolas Lepore, young musicians trained at the Potenza Conservatory. The trio has distinguished itself internationally by winning a podium spot at the prestigious Castelfidardo International Accordion Prize, one of the most important competitions in the world dedicated to the instrument. Their concert is built almost entirely on transcriptions and arrangements for accordion trio, a rare formation capable of creating a particularly original sound texture.

A free event in the heart of the Langhe

Like all Colline in Musica events, the concert at Grinzane Cavour Castle is free of charge and lasts about an hour. The setting is that of the Piedmont hills, where music, landscape, and historical heritage blend into a unique experience. The Grinzane Cavour stop is one of many dates throughout June 2026 enlivening the villages between the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato, from Cortemilia to Castagnito, from Piobesi d'Alba to Mango, and from Alba to Bra and Guarene.
