The Organ Festival of Sant’Anna di Stazzema Peace reaches its tenth year and, thanks to the collaboration between Italy and Germany, also hosts internationally renowned musicians. There are six concerts, each Sunday from July 17 to August 21 in the Church of St. Anna di Stazzema and a lecture at the S. Anna di Stazzema Historical Museum. The Festival, which is emerging as one of the highest musical quality appointments in the rich panorama of Versilia, is a concrete expression of the power of music to promote dialogue, understanding and collaboration between peoples and cultures.During the concerts funds will be collected for the expansion of the organ with a deep bass register to the pedal, whose inauguration is scheduled for the organ’s tenth anniversary.
