Concert of Moena’s municipal band
Starting from the rehearsal room in "Spiaz de la Premessaria", the municipal band of Moena parades through the streets of the town centre and performs a pleasant and cheerful repertoire in the square "Piaz de Ramon"
From the mid-1800s, the municipal band of Moena became a constant presence in the life of the village, constituting one of the main elements for every festivity and occasion, both religious and civil. Important was the visit of Archduke Charles Ludwig of Habsburg in 1858 to Cavalese, for which the presence of the band was requested and where the idea of performing in uniform was born. After a few interruptions during the First and Second World Wars, the band restarted stronger than before, thanks also to the new Maestro Luigi Canori. A well-known composer and musician from Moena, he created the song "Forti e baldi" (Strong and Brave), which is still performed today as the opening piece of summer concerts. The group, characterised by a red, white and blue uniform, has been directed since 2020 by Maestro Roberto Silvagni. Thanks to a decade-long collaboration with the local music school "Il Pentagramma", it has been organising training courses for adults and young people to learn how to play an instrument; the aim is not only to gather new recruits to join the band, but above all to transmit and share the passion for music. After all, the band succeeds in uniting generations, from the very young to the very old, and different professional experiences. It is an important expression of the identity heritage of the Moenese community, which is constantly searching for new horizons and musical genres to draw inspiration from.
The concert is free and in case of rain will be held at the "Navalge" theatre.
