Oursounds is the title of the 6th edition of the Chigiana International Festival & Summer Academy: a return to the roots of the Chigiana tradition, looking to the future, starting with the meaning of sound and musical creation that is born during the most difficult moments endured by humanity. Running until September 3, the festival features 3 sections, 18 live events and 22 shows from the archives of the Accademia Chigiana, which will be broadcast digitally for the first time.
