WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

"We have definitely come a long way from the "heroic" first concerts in the historic houses!"

CARLO ARNÒ, Villa Arnò, january 2020
"[...] The concert was a success. Think this was a great start for you to expand the network and be able to offer residencies in the Netherlands. Look forward to welcoming you both soon again!"

OLDRIK VERLOOP, Klein Leeuwenhorst, january 2020
"[...] In a very short time you have been able to realize a true miracle: culture, music, the promotion of young people, other than restoring life, strength and new energy to houses full of cobwebs!"

ANNA CALABRO, Via Menicucci, january 2020
"[...] I really wanted to tell you personally, and to renew - even from my modest point of view - the goodness and foresight of a project that, born from a sincere experimentation, achieves unthinkable results, precisely because it translates complexity into profound, but at the same time direct and immediate terms."

LUCIANO TROJA, Filarmonica Antonio Laudamo, january 2020
