Col Legno Music Festival

The Accademia di Montegral presents for the fourth time the col legno musica lucca festival in the Convento dell’Angelo, a monastery set in a dream location in the hills looking over Lucca.
The four day festival will not only give one an insight into the activities of col legno, which this year features pianists such as Alfonso Alberti, Jasminka Stančul, Davide Cabassi and the Duo Akkosax, but also one will be able to enjoy the Chorus Academy of the Tyrolean Festival Erl along with members of the Accademia di Montegral in a unique atmosphere.
