We have the pleasure to present the Trasimeno Music Festival, an event created and directed by worldwide famous pianist Angela Hewitt, bringing together musicians and music-lovers from all over the world for a week.
The Festival will be held in the Castle of the Knights of Malta in Magione near Perugia, Umbria - Italy, from June 28th to July 4th 2008.
This is the opportunity to experience a different concert every night while at the same time becoming familiar with the beauties of Umbria



The stage of such an event is the Castle of the Knights of Malta in Magione closed to Perugia the provincial capital of Umbria. Its scenic architecture melts with the music of the greatest composers in history creating an intimate unforgettable experience. Moreover, the beautiful Umbrian landscape, the suggestive atmosphere of its hilltop towns and the nearby Trasimeno Lake make the Festival a special opportunity to enjoy a pleasant stay in Umbria, Italy’s green heart.

The size of the castle and the idea of the founder to conceive an exclusive festival limit the subscription to maximum 250 participants to whom we offer complete and customized assistance.
