Dear Grumo Festival supporters, welcome to our page. Please, like our Facebook page and follow us!
Enjoy Italy as Italians do, traveling each day by train, bus, and other public transportation, performing each evening mostly outdoor in small and large towns, in squares, open spaces, churches and other historical buildings, tasting local foods, and with some time to visit each location.
During our 8 years of activities, we have been touring across Italy, from North to South, from the Alps, to the Appennines, to fabolous beach resorts. After a residency for lessons, rehearsals, and courses, each day we have traveled to new locations, booked into a hotel, agriturismo, or hosting family, had some time for rest or leisure, then rehearsed and performed in the evening.
Additionally, we have presented two-day concert mini tours in New York City, in collaboration with the United Pugliesi Federation, in 2012 and 2016.
Thanks to a generous donation from Prof. Lee Copenhaver, we have established the Lee Copenhaver and The Pellegrini Family Scholarship Fund. Our goal is to create scholarships to help students attend the Grumo Festival. To learn more, click here.
