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: alpine dairies, mountain churches, 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 Brentonico area

In the municipality of Brentonico, in the province of Trento, the festival finds some of its most iconic venues. Concerts are held along the village streets, with roving choirs animating the historic center, at the Rifugio Baita Fos-Ce above the hamlet of San Valentino, and in the historic Teatro Monte Baldo, which traditionally hosts the final concert of the Palestra d'Orchestra. Many high-altitude events are preceded or accompanied by a walk, leading the audience to the concert site along the plateau's trails, in an experience that combines hiking, listening, and environmental discovery.

Music in dialogue with nature

The program ranges from classical music to jazz, from European folk to popular sounds, featuring chamber ensembles, choirs, duos, and bands. A special role is played by the Palestra d'Orchestra, an orchestral workshop that brings together teachers and young musicians from across Italy, closing the festival with its final concerts hosted at the Teatro Monte Baldo in Brentonico. The common thread remains the relationship between sound, nature, and community: hence the festival's title, which weaves together music, environment, and human connections.

A project of community and territory

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

Brentonico and the Monte Baldo plateau

Situated on a vast plateau overlooking the Vallagarina valley and Lake Garda, Brentonico is the main Trentino hub on the northern slopes of Monte Baldo. Its hamlets, pastures, mountain huts, and the Val di Gresta make it an ideal destination for those seeking nature, hiking, and culture. Hosting part of the festival here means combining the Park's environmental heritage with the village's cultural vitality, offering visitors a chance to discover an authentic corner of the Trentino-Alto Adige region.
