Orsara Guitar Festival

The 2025 edition of the Orsara Guitar Festival brought classical guitar to the Abbey of Sant'Angelo in Orsara di Puglia from July 29 to August 1, as part of the rich 'Agosto Orsarese' program. The festival featured three evenings of free concerts, all starting at 8:30 PM, accompanied by an intensive program of musical education and craftsmanship.

Alongside the concerts, the festival hosted a classical guitar masterclass led by maestro Daniele Sardone, a lutherie workshop conducted by maestro Umberto Cevoli, a workshop on environmental recording by Professor Antonio Mazzeo, other thematic seminars, and a photo exhibition by Marica Fattore. The event, organized by Music Forge Studio with Holladura APS and the patronage of the Puglia Region and the Municipality, confirmed Orsara di Puglia as a summer reference point for music in the Monti Dauni.
