Associazione Amici della Musica (Alcamo)

Associazione Amici della Musica

The Associazione Amici della Musica has its seat in Alcamo, in the Province of Trapani.

History

The association was founded in 1986 by a group of people who were fond of classical music: its purpose is to favour the best diffusion of music and, above all, the young. 

It has performed its activities both in Alcamo and in the municipalities of the district: Buseto Palizzolo, Calatafimi Segesta and Castellammare del Golfo (in the province of Trapani), Balestrate and Partinico (in the province of Palermo).

So the association has been a valid alternative to the usual repertoire proposed by the Opera houses, as it has presented contemporary music too.

• Concert season (for its season ticket holders), since 1987: every year there are about 14 concerts with the partecipation of famous Italian and foreign instrumentalists.i.
