“Dialogues with Artists” by Pierfrancesco Pacoda

Villa Maioni – Verbania

A series of conversations, in italian language, and acoustic performances with leading figures in new Italian music – curated by Pierfrancesco Pacoda

Here, music meets spirituality through a meeting with an acclaimed name in our singer-songwriter scene, the refined interpreter of ballads strongly imbued with sentiment, Cristina Donà, an original protagonist of the new Italian sound culture.

The aim of the festival is to revive the squares that are once again becoming a place of meeting, sharing, the ‘heart’ of small communities that also open up to a younger audience, who can reflect on spirituality.

After the conversation, she will give a small, strictly acoustic concert, specially designed for the chosen venues, with personal re-interpretations of the repertoire of the guest musicians, which can only be heard on this occasion.

The show will therefore be a world premiere, unique and unrepeatable, a production conceived and created only for the festival, a unique event in the Italian musical panorama.
