Suoni in Movimento — Sound Panoramas at the Castle of Roppolo
The autumn festival for under-35s by Suoni in Movimento, held within the walls of the Castle of Roppolo
About Sound Panoramas
Sound Panoramas: the voice of the new generation in Roppolo
In the heart of the Biella region, perched on a hill overlooking Lake Viverone and the Serra moraine, the Castle of Roppolo becomes the stage every autumn for Sound Panoramas, the concluding section of the Suoni in Movimento festival. Located in the municipality of Roppolo, in the Province of Biella and the wider Piedmont region, this series is a highly anticipated event for those who love classical music performed in settings of great scenic charm.
A festival dedicated to the under-35s
What makes Sound Panoramas unique is its vocation: it is a concert series entirely dedicated to young artists under 35, designed as a space for experimentation, dialogue, and the promotion of youth creativity. Here, the classical repertoire meets contemporary music, electronics, and new technologies in programs that alternate between famous masterpieces and new compositions. The section is curated by the youth artistic committee of NISI ArteMusica, with Camilla Patria as a key figure for the autumn events and under-35 activities.
More than just a concert
Sound Panoramas is part of a larger project: the Suoni in Movimento festival, produced by the NISI ArteMusica association (Nuovo Insieme Strumentale Italiano), which for over fifteen years has been enlivening the Biella area with great music of yesterday and tomorrow within the walls of the most beautiful historic sites in the region. The 2026 edition is divided into three macro-sections — the Spring Musical, the Sound Paths in the Biella Museum Network, and, for the finale, Sound Panoramas — touching castles, churches, museums, and auditoriums between Salussola, Viverone, Roppolo, Cavaglià, and Biella.
Between music, landscape, and wellness
The common thread of the festival is the link between artistic experience, inner balance, and connection with the environment. It is no coincidence that the festival offers sunrise concerts, guided walks, and immersive listening sessions, in addition to the «New Sound Paths» project which, in collaboration with the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory of Turin, commissions, performs, and records live new world-premiere pieces by composers under 35. The performances are then published on the association's YouTube channel, extending the life of each concert well beyond the evening.
Sound Panoramas — edition 2026
The autumn section of Suoni in Movimento confirms its identity for 2026: space for emerging talents, dialogue between classical repertoire and new music, and locations of great charm in the Biella territory. From the sunrise concert on Lake Viverone to the grand orchestral finale in Biella, the program alternates between chamber intimacy and symphonic breadth, with the recurring presence of cellist Camilla Patria and the NISI ArteMusica String Orchestra.
