Previous editions
"Quarna,Un Paese per la Musica" was born in 1980, with a generally classical repertoire.
Beginning in the 1990, on the basis of the accrued interests of local enthusiasts and the relationships established by the internationally renowned saxophone factory of Quarna, the program took on a strong jazz imprint, even though it retains ample space for other genres music.
Since then, international artists and local musicians have performed in previous editions at Quarna during the summer season.
