Festival

Sounds of the Dolomites 2019

The mountains take center stage in one of the most charming music festivals of Trentino. Sounds of the Dolomites, now at its 25 edition, takes place from June 28 to September 15. International musicians and artists will perform in the outdoors, near huts, refuges, forts and beautiful locations which can be reached on foot along well-marked paths, with shows starting at dawn and ending late at night.

The love for music and for the mountains, for art and nature, all in one festival!

A series of important events with famous Italian and international artists will follow.

Programme
Overview

Music for explorers of boundless spaces

Arthur Jeffes is the son of the sculptor Emily Young and Simon Jeffes, who in 1974 founded the Penguin Cafe Orchestra, one of those groups that left an indelible mark on the history of contemporary music, so much so that their first album “Music from the Penguin Café” - released by Brian Eno's Obscure Records in 1976 - is considered by many to be a forerunner of world music. In fact, Simon Jeffes had developed a keen interest in ethnic music and African styles which he then brought to the Penguin Cafe Orchestra in that unique mix of attention to melody and desire to experiment. This hybrid approach moves across different geographical spaces and different musical periods and it infused all their albums until the death of that extraordinary musician.

Arthur Jeffes, eclectic musician and composer, a pianist with an interest in the music of space and who has written several pieces for NASA's Kepler project, is now frontman of Penguin Café, founded after the 2007 tribute to his father and the formation of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra. He went on to transform the line-up bringing in musicians that included Cass Browne of Gorillaz, Neil Codling of Suede, Oli Langford of Florence and the Machine and Darren Berry of Razorlight. The three albums they have released retain the basic musical structure of Jeffes senior, but it is combined with new sensibilities brought by Arthur and his companions. The result is a pervasive and at times celestial music, always inquiring and with the ability to bring distant universes together.

Venue Info

Ciampac - Val di Fassa
Location   38032 Trento, Italy

A broad, verdant mountain basin, with the Sella Group - imposing - in the background and the dark rocks of Crepa Neigra testifying that here, in the heart of the Dolomites, was once a volcano. This is Ciampac, where the refuge of the same name was built in the eighties to serve the skiers who in winter come to enjoy themselves on these slopes (linked to the Sella Ronda) and the walkers who come up in summer when a children's playground is open. Summer is also when you may spot a few marmots, who announce their presence with their distinctive whistle.
 

Open

From December to April
From June to late September

Walks

It’s possible to walk from the Ciampac basin to the Rifugio Contrin via Forcia Neigra and Passo San Nicolò (3 ½ hours, difficulty E). On the other side of the valley, beyond Crepa Neigra, you can walk down to Fontanazzo along the wild Val di Crepa (3 hours, difficulty E). From Sella Brunech (1 hour, difficulty E) it’s possible to descend into Val Giumela (difficulty E), ascend Sass de Adam (difficulty EE) or set out on the Bruno Pederiva protected path towards Passo San Nicolò. For via ferrata fans there is the Finanzieri via ferrata on Colàc (2 ½ hours on the ferrata itself, difficult).
