Echos. Places and Music — International Music Festival (concert in Grondona)

The 27th edition of the Echos. Places and Music festival was held from April 26 to June 22, 2025, with 24 concerts distributed across the municipalities of the Alessandria province, in Piedmont. Organized by the Associazione Musicale Ondasonora APS under the artistic direction of Sergio Marchegiani, the festival hosted great international performers — including Pietro De Maria, the Quartetto di Cremona, Sergey Antonov, Francesco Manara, and the Trio di Parma — alongside young talents.

Among the special events were the presentation of the «Silver Key» award to pianist Pietro De Maria (May 24, Teatro Sociale di Valenza) and the «Places of Wine» cycle, with concerts in the wineries of the Monferrato. Events were free to attend until capacity was reached, with the exception of the May 24 evening.
