InOrbita

The 2025 edition of InOrbita animated San Vito dei Normanni from November 6 to 9, focusing on the Italian frame drum and the theme of defining sound in collective contexts, in search of a harmonious coexistence between voice, rhythm, dance, instruments, and environment. The program intertwined workshops, masterclasses, labs, and concerts between the Teatro Tex and the ExFadda, with over thirty artists involved. Among the protagonists of the evening concerts were Rachele Andrioli, Alfio Antico, and Davide Ambrogio, along with many other performers from the roots music scene. The residency, supported by the Ministry of Culture, provided two participation scholarships for frame drum players under 30 and also involved trainees.
