In the magical Roero region, the artist's work transforms the stimuli of the surrounding beauty into a vibrant and harmonious identity ready to be shared. Explore a fertile ground where dedication and passion forge not only works of art, but true life projects. Inspiration takes shape: let yourself be carried away.

From the Classroom to the Stage
This year at the MACF Festival, the “Sounds of the Sand” String Masterclasses will be your gateway to the stage.
International Collaborations
The "Give a masterclass as a gift" supports the most disadvantaged young musicians, guests of the Baccarelli Foundation in S.Paulo, Brazil, by offering online masterclasses led by the artistic director and masters of the Festival. Selected young people will have the opportunity to learn from a professional and receive support for their musical journey.
