Sounds of the Dolomites

2nd July - 26th August 2016

Sounds of the Dolomites (I Suoni delle Dolomiti) is a unique high altitude music festival which brings musicians from across the world to the most beautiful mountains of the Alps. The idea is simple and at the same time fascinating: to combine the passion for music and the mountains, art and the environment, in a concert programme celebrating freedom and nature.

• Remember that cable cars, chair lifts and shuttle buses are at your own expense
• In case of bad weather, the concerts will take place in the valley on the same day. Tickets will be available from the theatre booking offices from 3pm onwards; there are a limited number of places
• Make the concerts part of a holiday to discover the region
• Come along on the walks with the Trentino Mountain Guides - there’s no charge
