About Percussion Festival
Percussion Takes Center Stage in Campobasso
The Percussion Festival is organized by the "Lorenzo Perosi" State Conservatory of Music in Campobasso, the capital of Molise. The event, under the artistic direction of maestro Giulio Costanzo, is entirely dedicated to the world of percussion and advanced musical training, with a particular focus on young students.
Guests and Ensembles
Each edition brings leading soloists and educators to Campobasso: principal timpanists from major opera houses, jazz vibraphonists, international percussionists, along with ensembles from other Italian conservatories. The festival thus becomes an opportunity for exchange and growth for the students of the Perosi Conservatory, in dialogue with established masters.
The Marzio Rosi International Award
Within the festival, the "Marzio Rosi" International Award is presented, named in memory of the composer and educator. This award links the Molise event to the national and international percussion scene, confirming the role of the Perosi Conservatory as a center for advanced artistic training in the Molise Region.
Percussion Festival — edition 2026
The 17th edition of the Percussion Festival confirmed the "Lorenzo Perosi" Conservatory of Campobasso as a reference point for advanced percussion training. Directed by maestro Giulio Costanzo, the 2026 edition hosted the Percussion Ensemble of the "Nicolini" Conservatory of Piacenza (dir. M° Loris Stefanuto) and students from the "Imbriani" Musical High School of Avellino, as well as a series of nationally and internationally prominent soloists.
