Paradice Music

More information about:

Paradice Music is a unique event because the music is made both in and with ice. Concerts take place from 16 January to 5 April 2025 every Thursday and Saturday afternoon in the Milka Paradice Dome, a large igloo-theatre at the foot of the majestic Presena Glacier. It's an ice amphitheatre with curved, enveloping lines and 200 seats. A magical environment where the reflections of the lights and the acoustics create a truly unique atmosphere. The real main attraction of the event is the ice instruments. These elements, built with extreme precision, emit perfect melodies waiting to be discovered, capable of conveying the emotions that only great musicians can offer. Ice instruments for music that warms and excites.

The Milka Paradice Dome, reachable from Passo del Tonale via the Paradiso Cable Car, houses a stage and 200 seats. Here, from January to April, spectators can experience the magic of spectacular concerts amidst reflections of light and sound vibrations. The sub-zero temperatures of the igloo-theatre preserve the most exclusive feature of this event: musical instruments made entirely of ice, created by the artists Lino Mosconi, Giorgio Tomaselli, and Matteo Aielli. In addition to their fairytale appearance, these instruments have a unique sound. The performances of the Paradice Music musicians will warm the audience with pieces ranging from classical music to pop and rock.

The Paradice Orchestra offers a vast musical repertoire spanning all genres. They perform monographies on great artists of the past and present, as well as pieces dedicated to opera and classical music. The orchestra was born from the meeting of Los Locos Armando's, a local rock band, with the pianist Massimo Faes and the Frosty Trio, an unconventional all-female string trio. In this edition of Paradice Music, the Orchestra will be joined by exceptional guests.

The Paradice Band offers themed events dedicated to Italian and English music, Grunge, Surf & Reggae, Pop, and much more. The band is led by Lino Mosconi, who, in addition to being a musician, is also one of the artists who built the ice instruments. The Paradice Band consists of: Lino Mosconi (Guitar), Saro Villari (Drums), Carlo Ausserer (Bass), and Valeria Cordella (Violin).
