The program, presented in Udine today, will involve more than 150 musicians, including established performers and young talents from European conservatories and music academies. The festival will open on July 1 at the Church of Santa Maria Assunta in Udine with "Armonie Inclusive," featuring the Ami-Ritmea Inclusive Symphony Orchestra and the Naonis Orchestra, conducted by Valter Sivilotti, the new artistic consultant working alongside Artistic Director Valentina Danelon. Among the new initiatives presented by the festival, which is organized by the Progetto Musica Association, is Atlante Sonoro, a series of seven concerts devoted to musical traditions from around the world.
