2-24 Sept 2006. For almost 30 years, September in Turin has been a month dedicated to great music. The first festival, in 1978, was conceived to offer music lovers an extensive programme of classical music, performed by world-famous conductors and orchestras. Over the years the event has opened its doors to all forms of contemporary music. This world class event this year includes a tribute to Mozart with the participation of conductors such as Riccardo Muti, Myung-Whun Chung, William Christie, Philippe Herrewege, and features Peter Maxwell Davies, traditional music from Vietnam, and the lesser known realities of music in Japan, Java and Mali.
