About Festival des Harmonies
Aosta Valley's Musical Bands Celebrate
The Festival des Harmonies Valdôtaines is the showcase celebrating the musical bands of the Aosta Valley, with wind instruments as the stars. The event, promoted by the Fédération des Harmonies Valdôtaines, features multiple concerts held between the Auditorium in Aymavilles and the Teatro Splendor in Aosta, bringing together the region's philharmonic orchestras and brass bands.
A Village Tradition
Bands have always been an institution in Aosta Valley communities: philharmonic orchestras, fanfares, and brass bands accompany patronal feasts, civil anniversaries, and village life. The festival unites this heritage in a series of concerts that highlight the work of musicians, often amateurs, and their conductors, fostering exchange and musical growth. Aymavilles, a town at the foot of its namesake castle in the Aosta plain, hosts one of the evenings with its Auditorium.
Free Concerts for Everyone
Admission to the concerts is free: an opportunity to discover the vibrancy of the Aosta Valley's band scene, featuring both traditional repertoires and concert pieces, and to support local ensembles. This event intertwines music and regional identity in the heart of the Aosta Valley.
Festival des Harmonies — edition 2026
