Banda Sociale di Aldeno

Italy - Aldeno

Italy – Aldeno

Banda Sociale of Aldeno was founded in 1923 under the guidance of the master Emilio Maule. First collected in a single company (the Unione Sportiva) the twelve musicians of the fanfare formed the Banda Sociale in 1925. After the interruption (1942-45), the band resumed activity, increasing the band members and organizing training courses.
1980 is the year of the turning point: the young master Michele Dallago begins to lead the band on a more modern terrain, opening to jazz, Latin American rhythms and original pieces for band. Together with President Walter Rossi, he conceived the “Serata Concerto” (which consists in collecting the performance of three bands in a single evening). More than fifty bands so far have been invited.

In 1996 Paolo Cimadom became master, continuing the work and bringing the band to higher and higher levels. Over the years the band has performed in several concerts and has participated in numerous competitions gaining important awards.

Since August 2022 Franco Puliafito has become the new conductor and the actual president of the association is Alessio Beozzo.
