Suoni dal Monviso — Marmora Stage

A concert in the mountains of Valle Maira

The Suoni dal Monviso festival stops in Marmora, a village of just over a hundred inhabitants nestled at an altitude of 1,223 meters in a side valley of the Valle Maira, in the province of Cuneo (Piedmont). On Sunday, July 12, 2026, the Madonna del Biamondo Sanctuary, accessible from the Vernetti hamlet, will host one of the ten events of the festival's twenty-second edition: a concert designed to engage with the surrounding alpine landscape.

The Briccialdi Quintet and «On the Slopes of Valle Maira»

The star of the day is the Briccialdi Wind Quintet, an ensemble linked to the Saluzzo School of Advanced Musical Studies, presenting the program titled «On the Slopes of Valle Maira». The choice of a wind quintet—flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon—blends perfectly with the intimate acoustics of the mountain sanctuary and the natural setting that characterizes all the high-altitude stops of the festival.

Suoni dal Monviso: over twenty years of music and territory

Suoni dal Monviso is a widespread festival conceived and organized by the Associazione I Polifonici del Marchesato, which for over two decades has intertwined artistic quality, local roots, and environmental awareness. The 2026 edition spans approximately six months and offers ten events in eight municipalities across four valleys in the Cuneo area, with a common theme dedicated to the four natural elements—air, water, earth, and fire. Environmental sustainability, accessibility, and youth engagement are the values that guide the entire program.

Why the Marmora stage is special

• An unusual and evocative venue: an alpine sanctuary immersed in the nature of Valle Maira.
• Quality chamber music, entrusted to an ensemble linked to the region's advanced musical training.
• An experience that combines listening, hiking, and discovering the hamlets of a mountain municipality in the Cuneo area.

The Marmora stage perfectly represents the soul of Suoni dal Monviso: bringing great music to the most authentic places of the Piedmontese mountains, where the silence of the valleys becomes an integral part of the listening experience.
