The ARMY MILITARY BAND ITALIAN

The Mascagni Terrace in Livorno will be the enchanting setting in which the Army Military Band, led by Major Maestro Filippo Cangiamilla, will pay tribute to the genius of Pietro Mascagni and the city with passionate veristic arrangements. This event marks an exceptional opportunity to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Band’s founding.
The Army Band, founded in 1964, represents the institutional music ensemble of the Armed Forces. Composed of one hundred and two musicians, an archivist, a Chief Conductor and an Assistant Conductor, all graduates of the Conservatory and selected through a national competition, the Army Band plays a crucial role both in institutional services and in intense concert activity. Its presence has been appreciated in the most prestigious Italian and foreign theaters, including the Teatro Massimo in Palermo, the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, the Opera in Rome and many others. In addition to performing in numerous European countries, the Band has had the honor of playing in the United States of America.
By participating in important national and international festivals and events, such as the Festival dei 2 Mondi in Spoleto and the International Festival of Military Bands in Modena, the Band has collaborated with world-famous artists in both classical music and popular music.
Its repertoire ranges from celebratory music to lyrical symphonic music, with a particular fondness for original Band music. Its performance of the Italian National Anthem, faithful to Novaro’s original score, has been selected as one of the symbols of the Republic on the Quirinale website.
