It begins June 26th at Villa Panna in the town of Scarperia with “Melodiadell’Acqua” (Water’s melody), a special concert by the duo piano/violin Jascha Nemtsov (Russia) and Kolja Blacher (Germany).

The second concert will take place June 28th at Villa Malaspina, in Fosdinovo (Massa Carrara) and it will see the first of two performances of the piano teacher Laforet. On June 30 “MelodiadelVino” moves in the province of Grosseto, in the Rocca Frassinello estate (Gavorrano). There will still be at the piano and violin Laforet the young and talented Sayaka Shoji (Japan). The fourth stage is always held in province of Grosseto, on the estate of Montemassi Roccastrada. After the wine tasting, the audience can enjoy the exhibition at the piano by Laure Favre-Kahn (France) on violin and Nemanja Radulovic (Serbia). Then the show will be in Montalcino (Siena), in Castello Banfi Poggio alle Mura, on the evening of July 5th, with russian Alexander Kniaziev’s cello.
