For 2013 the artistic direction of the festival has given a great renewal to the cast, flanking the big names with an “army” of highly innovative quality proposals.
Folkest 2013 made its debut in Papariano (Fiumicello) on 4 July with a completely feminine evening: Elsa Martin, Maria Devigili and Serio & Faceto proposed interesting shows in which the classic author song is combined with new expressive trends.
A welcome return, after a few years of absence: from Chile Inti Illimani, on 19 July 2013 in Tolmezzo and on 20 July 2013 in Capodistria, to crown a European tour that celebrated their forty-five years of career.
Great events also in Piazza Duomo in Spilimbergo, in the final evenings of 26, 27 and 28 July 2013: accompanied by the FVG Mitteleuropa Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Walter Sivilotti, Simone Cristicchi (26), Allan Taylor (27) and Antonella Ruggiero (28), concluded the festival with an extraordinary production that among other things saw them celebrate and remember Sergio Endrigo for the eighty years of the birth (1933) of the Istrian songwriter.
