The polyphonic concerts in Northern Sardinia will take place in Porto Torres, Santa Maria Coghinas, Monteleone Rocca Doria and Borutta, bringing together international choirs in Sardegna and ensembles from Sardinia and Friuli.

The programme includes concerts, outdoor performances, guided tours and musical accompaniment for Holy Mass at the Abbey of San Pietro di Sorres.
The ‘Il Terzo Tempo’ event combines performances with the promotion of Sardinian food and wine and traditional crafts. On 24 October, the festival concludes with The Tallis Scholars at Porto Torres, in the Basilica of San Gavino.
