The ochestra always takes part in all the religious ceremonies in Loveno and its surroundings, and is invited to perform concerts in neighboring towns and has also won numerous awards and prizes in wind orchestra competitions. In 2011, on the occasion of the 150th Anniversary of the Unification of Italy, theĀ Corpo Musicale di Loveno Wind Orchestrawas recognized as a Municipal Interest Group at a national level, and therefore an integral part of the Italian cultural heritage.
