Music and performing arts in the most evocative locations in Umbria
Suoni Controvento is one of Umbria's most original distributed festivals: a calendar of concerts, theatre performances, talks, trekking, and shows that unfolds through villages, squares, historic palaces, and natural landscapes of the region. The review makes environmental sustainability one of its distinctive features, with policies for waste reduction and carbon footprint reduction.
In Gubbio, in the province of Perugia, the festival stops in the Renaissance setting of the Palazzo Ducale, commissioned by the Montefeltro family. An extraordinary venue that hosts concerts by Italian and international artists, in a dialogue between contemporary music, jazz, and historic architecture.
The festival enhances Umbria's landscape and cultural heritage, offering events that often combine evening concerts with daytime excursions and activities. The Gubbio stop represents one of the most anticipated events in the summer schedule of the city of the Ceri.
The Gubbio stop of the 2026 edition of Suoni Controvento is scheduled for July 21, 2026, at the Palazzo Ducale, starting at 9 PM. The featured artist is bassist and composer Rosa Brunello, who will perform 'We Are Surging Waters', her new album dedicated to themes of collective movement, rebirth, and solidarity.
The stop is part of the rich programme of the 2026 edition of the festival, which runs from July 16 to September 13 in the most evocative locations in Umbria, featuring Italian and international artists.
The 2026 edition of Suoni Controvento runs from July 16 to September 13 in various locations in Umbria, with a lineup including Fabrizio Checcacci (July 16), Sarathy Korwar (July 24), I Patagarri (July 25), Angelica Bove (July 28), and Angelina Mango (August 5). Full programme at suonicontrovento.it.
