Solo Guitar Concert. September 8th – 2018, 2.30pm. Pian di Vione di Colere, Bergamo.

Ci sono dei paesaggi i cui racconti si legano ai ricordi, altri ci riconciliano con la vita, altri ancora attendono che noi ci fermiamo lì ad ascoltare una nuova musica, come il Pian di Vione, un anfiteatro naturale adagiato nell’abbraccio delle pareti verticali della maestosa “regina” delle Orobie, il Pizzo della Presolana.
Mentre l’ambiente offre un’acustica eccezionale, il paesaggio è la miglior scenografia possibile per un concerto come quello che sarà proposto in occasione della prima edizione di Acoustic Val di Scalve. Rassegna che intende portare in alta quota alcuni tra i più grandi chitarristi acustici del mondo.
