We are hosting something truly extraordinary at Il Ciocco.

Last night, I witnessed the most beautiful concert I have ever attended: an unforgettable flow of music, spontaneous jams and pure improvisation. No barriers, no script — just extraordinary human beings listening, creating and connecting through music.

Our team has worked incredibly hard for months to make this event possible. Seeing it come to life in such a powerful and moving way is the greatest reward we could have hoped for.

I could not be prouder to welcome Jacob Collier’s Hideaway to our mountain. And I know that someone, somewhere up there, is smiling.

An extraordinary Faculty:

Jacob Collier — a seven-time GRAMMY winner and a musical visionary who continues to redefine what is creatively possible.

Chris Thile — a genre-defying mandolin virtuoso, singer and composer of astonishing imagination.

Suzie Collier — an internationally renowned conductor, violinist and teacher whose generosity is as powerful as her talent.

Larry Goldings — a brilliant pianist, organist and composer who moves effortlessly between jazz, funk, pop and classical music.

Wallis Bird — an electrifying Irish singer-songwriter whose energy, honesty and resilience fill every stage.

Ben Bloomberg — the sonic architect and technologist behind some of Jacob’s most groundbreaking live experiences.

Gina Chick — an adventurer, writer and rewilding guide who reminds us how creativity can reconnect us with nature and ourselves.

Barak Schmool — a remarkable composer, multi-instrumentalist and educator with a profound understanding of rhythm and musical cultures.

Julian Lage — one of the most distinctive and extraordinary improvising guitarists of his generation.

Jason Singh — a pioneering sound artist and nature beatboxer who transforms listening into an entirely new experience.

This video captures only a fragment of what happened last night — but perhaps it conveys some of the magic.
