Following the success of the 2016 edition, the Abbey of Santa Maria in Silvis will once again open its doors to the Fadiesis Accordion Festival with a programme of sacred music of rare expressive power. In the archaic silence of this great monument of Western Friuli, Mozart’s Requiem will be performed in an arrangement for two accordions and choir. A musical masterpiece in a treasure chest of art and architecture.
