Once again, the fest­iv­al offers a rich and diverse pro­gram: major con­certs, show­cases, net­work­ing oppor­tun­it­ies, train­ing ses­sions, talks, exhib­i­tions, and artist present­a­tions, all designed to engage music pro­fes­sion­als, emer­ging tal­ents, cre­at­ives, and music lov­ers alike. This year’s edi­tion will be cur­ated by Ant­o­nio Diod­ato and Michele Riondino, two renowned artists from Taranto, who will work pro bono along­side Artist­ic Coordin­at­or Cesare Veronico to devel­op new pro­jects and ini­ti­at­ives, to be announced in the com­ing weeks.
