Majestic witnesses of millenary eras, the Dolomites have a charm that enchants and amazes. I Suoni delle Dolomiti was conceived with the goal of capturing and conveying the spirit of the mountains and of paying homage to the wonder the Dolomites can offer. It has been a 29-year journey, whose soul is well described and outlined in the words of the new Manifesto.
2025 Edition
From August 27 to October 4, the high-altitude music festival
The 2025 edition marks the 30th year of I Suoni delle Dolomiti. Over the course of a month, 18 free events will be hosted among the mountains of Trentino, a unique natural setting where musical notes and words come together as they journey toward the peaks, just like the audience and musicians.
The artists of the 2024 edition
This year, international artists will bring musical genres ranging from world music to classical music, from singer-songwriter song to jazz and performing theatre.
The Festival venues
The walk is unquestionably a core, inescapable part of the Festival.
Where does this walk lead? Towards natural places, made of peaks and forests. Where the Dolomites not only provide the scenery but also star in the shows.
A Manifesto
“I Suoni delle Dolomiti is always unique: although there are some things that all of the events have in common and there is a long, clear thread running through all of the years since the initiative started, it has stayed fresh thanks to a tireless search for new forms of expression. Being there and taking part captures the essence of living in the here and now…”
Paolo Manfrini, the founder of the Festival
Paolo Manfrini is the father of I Suoni delle Dolomiti and cared for it until 2018, the year of his untimely passing. He was a journalist, first as director of the Press Office of the then Provincial Tourism Promotion Agency and later as general director of Trentino Marketing.
