Last night we took a mini bus trip up to the archaeological site of San Martino on the outskirts of a small village called Campi just above Riva del Garda (TN) here in Northern Italy. This is the season of music festivals in our area … and last night was Campi’s turn to host the evening’s event.
Surrounded by trees, in the suggestive ex-Roman village on the side of Mount St. Martino overlooking the valley below, one couldn’t but look forward to an interesting experience. What we listened to last night though was more than just interesting; it was pure magic!
If you enjoy the beauty and versatility of the human voice, and I do, a cappella music is a beautiful experience in polyphonic fantasy. Cherries on a Swing Set are master’s of this art and they mixed their wonderful music – from Folk to Pop – with humorous stagemanship guaranteeing the participation of the public. The only sad note of the evening was that of course it had to come to an end, but not before the Cherries on a Swing Set were obliged to make two curtain calls!
warbling nightingales
cherries sang on a swing set
this midsummer night
