Malborghetto – Piazza Palazzo Veneziano Square
Wood and Music, once again protagonists at the LEGNO VIVO Art Workshop. Promoted by ‘Musicae: Distretto Culturale del Pianoforte’, the kermesse turns the spotlight as usual on all the declinations of wood applied to music, bringing visitors into contact not only with musical instruments but also with the masters who have finely crafted them. A unique opportunity to listen to the stories of the craftsmen in their workshops and the live voices of violins, guitars, harps, duduk, double basses, horns, mandolins, barbershop organs, accordions, pianos and other works of fine wood craftsmanship, with musical moments curated by renowned artists.
