The Italian Brass week is, now after 13 years, a stage aimed at training thousands of young people from across the world.
Italian Brass Week, the Festival of Brass with a history of excellence is accredited at an international level.

In addition to offering a human and professional aspect, we guarantee the possibility of improving and making contacts for the continuation of the students' education.

A week dedicated to the world of brass, an annual cultural exchange that allows young people to grow in a healthy and continuous artistic stimulating environment.

Over the years we have been able to bring together international musicians at the caliber of Daniele Morandini (New York Philarmonic) Omar Tomasoni (Orchestra di Santa Cecilia in Roma), Massimo La Rosa (Cleveland Symphony Orchestra), Ottaviano Cristofori (New Japan Philarmonic), and many others.

Very significant brass groups were born within our festival, including: Gomalan Brass Quintet,(www.gomalanbrass.com) Italian Wonder Brass, (www.italianwonderbrass.com) and the Bahi Ensemble.

Our quality and seriousness have been awarded the bronze medal by the President of the Republic, and may other recognitions have allowed us to arrive here: a festival that offers a great chance to all young brass musicians, all thanks to the contribution of institutions, private sponsors, and the great work of a fantastic team
The city that hosts it will become the capital of sound and magical notes that will bring you back; a magnificent art world, full of new ideas. Olso this year Cesena will be the capital of a new way of culture, in the Emilia Romagna region, where music traditionally accompanies summer evenings.
From its inception, the Italian Brass Week has been recognized as being at a world class level and as being the most instructive manifestation with excellent teachers and the exclusivity of a method of coexistence cultural exchange.
Under the artistic direction of Maestro Luca Benucci, principal horn of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, the students have had the opportunity to follow inimitable professionals who are part of the largest and most prestigious orchestras of the world: Berlin Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Israel Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Vienna Philharmonic and other internationally renowned soloists.
