History

The Festival was founded in 1979 by Janos Meszaros, starting in Assisi and then in Riva del Garda until it moved to the present place in 1997, where it fully developed to reach its actual state.[1][2]

The aim of the festival is to offer the possibility to young musicians to develop themselves, meeting and playing with colleagues and teachers from all over the world. It also promotes the tourismus and the cultural life of the region by offering during the two weeks musical public events[3]

It presents every year new rising stars from the musical world, including in its agenda concerts performed by winners of the ARD International Music Competition and the Prague Spring International Music Competition.
