CONNECTED IN MUSIC

Cross-border music walk on the occasion of the European Music Festival 21 June | BRDA – COLLIO

As part of the European Music Festival, a unique cross-border music event "Connected in Music / Insieme nella musica" will take place on 21 June, connecting the Slovenian Brda and the Italian Collio in a joint outdoor musical experience. The event will be designed as a music walk along two routes:

BRDA Route: Šmartno – Kozana – Vila Vipolže

COLLIO Route: Števerjan – Gornje Cerovo – Vila Vipolže

The program starts at 16:00. The Brda Route begins in Šmartno (Slovenia) and the Collio Route begins in Števerjan (Italy). On both routes, participants will experience intermediate musical stations: Kozana offers a 30-minute music program, and Gornje Cerovo also features a 30-minute music program. The finish of both routes is scheduled for around 18:00 in front of Vila Vipolže, where the final performance of all registered musical groups will take place. The conclusion will be dedicated to a joint musical moment with the performance of the European Anthem and Souza's march "King Cotton March" (notes will be available to all participants).

The following are invited to participate: musicians, music lovers, music groups, students and teachers of music schools, and hikers. The event combines movement, music, and cross-border networking, creating a shared cultural experience of Brda and Collio.
