LASSÖ 2026
A concert for Othmar Costabiei
The second edition of LASSÖ – N conzert por te will take place on 30 August 2026 near Pralongià Hut and is dedicated to Othmar Costabiei († 2009), who lost his life nearby.
LASSÖ brings together music, nature, and remembrance. At its heart is a shared moment of reflection, accompanied by classical music in the breathtaking landscape of the Dolomites.
This year, the programme once again features a world premiere composed especially for LASSÖ. The new work, written by Matthäus Crepaz, is dedicated to Othmar Costabiei.

Mayor of Corvara
Music is the language of the heart. With just seven notes, it can connect an entire world, as no other language can. It can describe every situation and every emotion, connect people and souls forever, and give voice to feelings that words alone sometimes cannot express. In this way, the melodies of this project remind us of our loved ones, of our fellow mountain companions who have reached the highest and most beautiful summit of all: the summit of the sky.
A heartfelt compliment and a sincere thank you go to Emma Moling and to everyone who has contributed to bringing this special project to life. Let us be carried away by the waves of these melodies and allow them to lead us towards our loved ones.
