Val di Fiemme, the valley of Harmony, will host for the second time the International Congress Europiano. More than 400 professional piano tuners, technicians and designers from all over Europe are expected.

Val di Fiemme, worldwide known for its musical trees, will host for the second time the International Congress Europiano of piano tuners, technicians and designers. All this thanks to the collaboration between AIARP, the Italian association of piano tuners and technicians, and the Ciresa company of Tesero, which produces soundboards, besides the support of Fazioli Pianoforti.

From the 20th to 24th of May 2018 the modern congress center PalaFiemme in Cavalese will host the 4-languages ​​sessions of Europiano 2018, among piano concerts and jam sessions.

For relatives and companions, tours and excursions will be organized across Trentino, from the Garda lake, to the Dolomites and to the Sounding Forest of Predazzo. Here is where spruce firs, once loved by Stradivari and nowadays sought after by luthiers and piano producers around the world, have been dedicated to well-known musicians who took part at the festival “The Sounds of the Dolomites”.
