Dear music friends, Florence Youth Festival is still alive and kicking!!
As you all well know, due to global spread of SARS-CoV-2, the 2020 festival edition did not take place.
We all have so missed the music, the joy and the concert experience all around Florence and Italy, we did so much that we are fully working now for the next festival edition 2021.
We wish you all a Merry Christmas full of Love, Health and Joy!
