Società Filarmonica Borgonese

Italy – Borgone di Susa

This musical association was founded on April 15th 1855 in Borgone di Susa and experienced a period of great success until the outbreak of the Second World War when, due to the war event, it
was forced to disband. The ensemble was then reconstituted in 1945 and, after a further period of interruption, was finally restored in 1972.

Important events in the history of the Philharmonic took place in 2003, when it was invited to participate in the Jubilee of Music Bands held in Arma di Taggia on the occasion of the 150th
anniversary of the miracle of the Madonna di Taggia, and in 2015 with its participation in the International Band Competition in Riva del Garda where it won third place.

Today the Società Filarmonica Borgonese includes a music school and an ensemble of forty musicians, whose repertoire ranges from classical to pop music pieces, favoring mainly original
compositions for band. Since 2013 the Junior Band has also been active, consisting of primary school children and students of music courses.
