Musica Natura Relazioni

A festival blending music and landscape on Monte Baldo

Musica Natura Relazioni is the summer concert series promoted by the Monte Baldo Local Nature Park, bringing together the five municipalities of the district—Ala, Avio, Brentonico, Mori, and Nago-Torbole—in a single program spread across the Vallagarina valley and the Trentino side of Lake Garda. The project was born from the idea of bringing live music to the Park's most evocative locations: mountain dairies, alpine churches, mountain huts, forests, and historic theaters become natural stages where listening and landscape merge. The organization is managed by the Superflùo association, under the artistic direction of Giovanni Costantini.

Events in the Ala area

In the municipality of Ala, in the province of Trento, the festival offers some of its most characteristic moments. Concerts are held at Sega di Ala, a mountain village overlooking the Park, at Maso Eccheli in the picturesque Valle dei Ronchi, and in the historic Teatro G. Sartori in the center of Ala. Many events in the meadows and mountain dairies are preceded by a guided walk, accompanying the audience to the concert venue along the trails of Monte Baldo, in an experience that combines hiking, listening, and environmental discovery.

Music in dialogue with nature

The programming ranges from classical music to jazz, from European folk to popular sounds, featuring chamber ensembles, choirs, quartets, and bands. A special role is played by the Palestra d'Orchestra, an orchestral workshop that brings together teachers and young musicians, traditionally closing the festival with final concerts also hosted at the Teatro Sartori in Ala. The common thread remains the relationship between sound, nature, and community: hence the title of the event, which weaves together music, environment, and human relationships.

A community and territory project

Musica Natura Relazioni is more than just a concert season: it is a cultural project that enhances the Monte Baldo Local Nature Park and its municipalities, promoting slow, environmentally conscious tourism. The events, often free or low-cost, are also designed for families and involve residents, local associations, and visitors. For paid events and walks, booking is recommended, with discounts for those under 25, residents of the Park's municipalities, and members of partner associations, while admission is free for children up to 12 years old.

Ala and the Vallagarina valley

Known as the "City of Velvet" and famous for its Baroque historic center, Ala is the southern gateway to Trentino and the Monte Baldo Park. Hosting part of the festival here means combining the town's historical and artistic heritage with the natural beauty of the mountains, offering visitors an opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the Trentino-Alto Adige region.
