The great choral festival of the Alto Casertano in the medieval village of San Giorgio in Dragoni
Harmonies of Time and Earth of the Alto Casertano is a festival dedicated to choral music held in Dragoni, a small town in the province of Caserta, in the heart of the Alto Casertano, in Campania. The initiative, conceived by Michele Italiano and his team and sponsored by the Municipality of Dragoni, was born in 2026 with the goal of uniting the region's choral groups for the first time in one grand evening, celebrating local musical traditions and a sense of community.
The natural stage for the event is the charming San Giorgio square, in the historic center of Dragoni, a recently restored medieval village nestled at the foot of Monte Melito. For the occasion, the alleys are adorned with soft lighting and candles, creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere that enhances the ancient charm of the stone architecture and the village's hidden corners. It is the ideal setting for an evening where music engages with history and the landscape.
The heart of the festival is the meeting of five choirs from different towns in the Alto Casertano, each with its own identity and repertoire. It is a moment of sharing that brings together different choral experiences, from sacred music to folk polyphony, in a festive atmosphere of mutual appreciation.
Alongside the choral performances, the evening reserves ample space for local gastronomic excellence, with a dedicated area for the flavors of the land of the Alto Casertano. The combination of singing, conviviality, and typical products makes Harmonies of Time and Earth much more than just a concert: it is a social occasion that tells the authentic story of this corner of the province of Caserta.
The festival is part of the Estate Dragonese program, the summer series of events promoted by the Municipality of Dragoni to enliven the village during the warmer season. With its formula that weaves together choral music, folk traditions, heritage, and gastronomy, Harmonies of Time and Earth has established itself as one of the most heartfelt and well-attended events on the local calendar.
