Het Punto Arte Festival,
voor echte fijnproevers
In de eerste week van juli komt een keur aan internationale topmusici, solisten en zangers naar de Etruskische stad Volterra in hartje Toscane voor de tweede editie van het festival. Regisseur Eva Buchmann en dirigent Jan Willem de Vriend hebben opnieuw een spannend programma samengesteld met opera, kamermuziek, symfonieconcerten en solo-optredens. Trombonist Jörgen van Rijen geeft open masterclasses voor jonge musici uit de hele wereld.
In de levendige stad en zijn oogstrelende omgeving vinden voorstellingen en uitvoeringen plaats op fotogenieke locaties die u nooit meer vergeet.
De musici, solisten en zangers hebben, behalve hun grote kwaliteit, ook een aanstekelijk speelplezier gemeen. En ze delen de vaste overtuiging dat een festival een feest is – een feest waar een goed glas wijn en een exquise maaltijd niet mogen ontbreken. Zo bieden niet alleen de voorstellingen en uitvoeringen, maar ook de diners een uitgelezen kans voor onze bezoekers om in een informele sfeer de musici, solisten en zangers te ontmoeten.
