The Piano del Nardis, also known as the Lago Asciutto area, above Pinzolo and Madonna di Campiglio, is a striking hiking area located in the Brenta group, part of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site. Situated near iconic places such as Passo Bregn da l’Ors and Lake Valagola, it can be reached using the Pinzolo–Doss del Sabion lifts followed by a scenic walk of about one hour.
This year, I Suoni delle Dolomiti will bring to these beautiful alpine pastures a Brazilian classical music collective, the Ilumina Ensemble, founded in São Paulo in 2015 on the initiative of violinist Jennifer Stumm. She has succeeded in drawing the attention of hundreds of musicians: on the one hand, talented young players—often from disadvantaged backgrounds—and on the other, already established artists who provide them with outstanding training, mentorship, and real international career opportunities.
The result includes remarkable live performances, both in unconventional settings like this one and in prestigious concert halls. After its debut at the Lucerne Festival in 2022, Ilumina has performed, among other venues, at the Edinburgh International Festival and at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, and in 2026 it will make its debut at London’s Wigmore Hall. With the digital project “Equal Music,” it also promotes global and inclusive access to music education.
