​The Ensemble Suono Giallo conceived ilSuono Festival with the aim of divulging and promoting contemporary music. During this first edition, there will be three concerts exploring new approaches in style, technique, and performance so as to familiarize the public with the fascinating expressive language of contemporary music. Città di Castello and the Alta Valle del Tevere have long been internationally renown for their high standards in musical offerings.  The festival and the summer composition course IlSuono Academy both intend to advance this trend further by spearheading a vanguard contemporary music dimension into the extant cultural fabric.
