The initiative is promoted by the Ministry of Culture, the Italian Representation of the European Commission and the Department for Youth Policies.
This year the Music Festival, in its thirtieth Italian edition, has the title “We are the first orchestra” and sees musical bands as its common thread.
The bands, which bring joy to all parts of the country and also bring young generations closer to music, are an integral part of the Italian cultural heritage. For this reason, the Royal Palace of Caserta and the State Archives, in line with the spirit of collaboration and sharing that has always distinguished them, have decided to give full expression to the day with two initiatives aimed at the entire public of the Museum.
The first courtyard of the Royal Palace, adjacent to the State Archives, will echo with the notes of the fanfare of the 8th Regiment of the “Garibaldi” Bersaglieri Brigade. Appointment at 11 am with the traditional and characteristic running pace of the Bersaglieri, accompanied by music. The fanfare performance, directed by Adjutant Sergeant Major Angelo Ceruso, will begin with the performance of the first official march of the corps. The band based in Caserta is made up of around twenty members, as usual, brass instruments belonging to the trumpet family. The brass band is engaged in multiple representation activities, both nationally and internationally: it has performed in Australia, Egypt, Belgium, France, Spain, Switzerland and Argentina, where it took part in the celebrations for the bicentenary of the constitution of the Republic. Take part in the June 2nd parade, the changing of the guard at the Quirinale and the international visits of heads of state.
In the afternoon, at 5pm in the third courtyard, it will be the turn of the Grand Band Concert P. Ferraro Città di Casagiove. The complex, born at the end of the 80s, has been appreciated with its performances throughout central and southern Italy. It will offer visitors to the Museum cheerful musical entertainment that will range from classical to modern repertoire.

Since 1985, the European Year of Music, the Music Festival has taken place in Europe and around the world.
