From 9 to 18 August 2022 Asiago is preparing to host the concerts of the 56th edition of the "ASIAGO FESTIVAL", a musical event organized by the Friends of Music of Asiago "Fiorella Benetti Brazzale" that brings great music to the Plateau of the Seven Municipalities.
Julius Berger, world-renowned cellist and character of particular cultural stature, is the artistic director of the Festival, in which every year artists of international value participate, both Italian and foreign.
The festival in all its editions hosts an internationally renowned composer who is commissioned a work to be performed in absolute premiere during the festival. For the 2022 edition, the guest is the composer Markus Schmitt.
As every year, the event will conquer citizens and tourists with really exciting concerts , with 6 evenings of the most beautiful classical music.
To frame the performances of the talented musicians, suggestive locations: the Cathedral of San Matteo, the Church of San Rocco, the Millepini Theater and the Interrupted Fort.
Asiagofestival is possible thanks to the support of the Municipality of Asiago, the Parish of San Matteo, and above all Brazzale s.p.a, the oldest dairy company in Italy based in Zanè - Vicenza. It was Fioretta Benetti Brazzale, mother of the current CEO of Brazzale, organist, concert performer, composer and teacher native of Asiago, who gave life to the festival in the 60s. Today the children and grandchildren carry it forward and guide its organizational direction.
