iPalpiti Festival 2020
LOS ANGELES: JULY 18 – JULY 25 | Browse our Interactive Virtual Brochure
iPalpiti Orchestra of International Laureates
The acclaimed “United Nations of Music”
Eduard Schmieder, Music Director / Conductor
In Corona-ravaged times when spiritual dimension in recreation of music communication is evaporating because of the impossibility of personal interaction, we strive to replenish craving souls by infusing iPalpiti’s virtual performances with positive emotional energy, sending a message of UNITY and HOPE.
The iPalpiti Festival “has become one of the highlights – in some years, the highlight – of the summer here” (R. Ginell, American Record Guide, 2015)
Nothing can replace musicians’ live connection from the stage.
As we could not bring our 23rd Annual Festival to Los Angeles this July, inspired young musicians of iPalpiti from around the globe, are united in their hope of bringing beauty into your life through celestial sound, vital rhythm, and eternal loving energy.
May we all be blessed by the touch of higher harmony!
