For the fourth consecutive year, Fanano is proud and delighted to host Saxofollia week.
A festival of fine Jazz and Saxophone playing, organised by Giovanni Contri, conductor of the Fanano Town Marching Band and member of outstanding Sax Quartet Saxofollia, and the Fanano Municipal Culture Office.
The week centres on the Saxofollia Summer Camp, when the Quartet's members and star guests offer tuition to up-and-coming saxophonists from right across Italy. And every day's tuition culminates in a great concert, with free admission for all.
This is the schedule for this year's Saxofollia week:
