L'Emigrazione. Concerto a Tema

The second edition of the "Themed Concert" will take place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at 8:30 PM, as usual at the F. Parri Cultural Center in Longarone. Right after the first edition, which in 2025 celebrated "THE MOUNTAIN", our choice for the 2026 edition has been "EMIGRATION". It seemed right to remember this plight, which has heavily affected our land: from the end of the 1800s to the present day, almost every family has had a relative who left to seek fortune in distant countries, forced to abandon homes, towns, and loved ones due to poverty and hunger. The choice of the theme "EMIGRATION" turned out to be appropriate and focused. In fact, in 2026 we will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Association of Bellunesi in the World, established on January 9, 1966, as well as the 60th anniversary of the related magazine "Bellunesi nel Mondo", currently directed by Dino Bridda, who will be the host of our evening. There could not have been a better theme nor a better presenter. The guest choirs have also been chosen for their sensitivity to the theme of emigration. In fact, along with the "KANTAS VOCAL GROUP", the "MONTE DOLADA CHOIR" and the "VOICES FROM THE CORTIVI CHOIR" will perform. During the evening, a photographic exhibition on emigration will be set up: the material has been provided by the "Association of former Emigrants from Longarone", the "Fameja dei Zatèr e Menedàs de la Piave" from Codissago, and the "Association of Stone Carvers" from Castellavazzo, and by Anna D'Incà (personal archive). The event has received sponsorship from: THE MUNICIPALITY OF LONGARONE, THE VENETO REGION, THE PROVINCE OF BELLUNO, THE CADORE LONGARONESE ZOLDO MOUNTAIN UNION, THE ASSOCIATION OF BELLUNESI IN THE WORLD, THE MUNICIPALITY OF SOVERZENE, THE MUNICIPALITY OF OSPITALE DI CADORE. Involved in the success of the evening are the CODISSAGO YOUNG GROUP "HOW WE WERE" for the dinner after the concert, the PRO LOCO LONGARONE for the management of the hall where the event takes place, and the LONGARONE LIBRARY for the printing of the posters.
