Saint John's Concert

The Saint John's Concert in Verolengo

The Saint John's Concert is one of the most cherished events in the musical calendar of Verolengo, a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Turin, Piedmont. Organized by the Verolengo Concert Band, the event accompanies the festivities dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, the town's patron saint, bringing live music to the hall of the Oratorio San Giovanni Battista, located at Via Dante 10.

A local band tradition

Concert bands have always been pillars of social and cultural life in small Piedmontese towns: a group of musicians, often of all ages, who dedicate their efforts to the community during civil and religious holidays. In Verolengo, this bond is renewed every year with the concert in honor of the patron saint, a moment that brings together residents and visitors for an evening of music and celebration.

What to expect

The repertoire of a concert band typically ranges from marches and traditional pieces to soundtracks, pop arrangements, and classical music, performed live for the audience. The intimate setting of the oratory makes the evening particularly convivial and suitable for all ages.

An event open to everyone

The Saint John's Concert is open to everyone and free to attend, designed to showcase local music and the patronal feast. It is the ideal opportunity to discover the band tradition of this corner of the Turin plains and experience an authentic moment with the Verolengo community.
