The opening concert that takes place in the Sala Mahler of Dobbiaco starts a spectacular festival of choral music in which, for five days, the whole valley turns into a grandiose theater; concert halls, churches, alpine shelters and all the most fascinating natural settings of the Pusteria become the stage for over sixty concerts in program.

The Festival ends with the "Festa dell'Arrivederci", the traditional appointment at the Casa Sesto in which all the participating choirs gather for the closing ceremony.
