Concert "Music for Europe and Europeans"

TUESDAY 29 MAY
CONCERT "MUSIC FOR EUROPE AND THE EUROPEANS"
17.30 Benedetto Marcello Conservatory of Venice
San Marco 2810, Venice
Free entry until exhaustion

On Tuesday, May 29 at 17.30 at the Conservatory Benedetto Marcello of Venice (San Marco 2810) was held the concert "Music for Europe and the Europeans" which included classical music, that evoked the myth of Europe, and contemporary music focused on today's problems that Europe and its citizenship are facing.

In the form of a prologue and a dialectic pendant to the collective work of Andriessen, Paolo Notargiacomo Maiden Island, a piece written specifically for the occasion, investigates the atomization of the contemporary lonely man, through a polyphony that brings into play the various shades of the word. The mosaic texts contain a stratification of both thought and soul of the European man from Virgil to the most recent stories, bringing out the delicate reflections on the social and existential solitude. In Workers Union, by the Dutch composer Louis Andriessen, everything is written except for the height of the notes. Conceived as a piece for an open and high-volume collection, Andriessen asks, in a brief introductory legend, not to play conventional figures and to strive for a dissonant, chromatic, aggressive sound. And he affirms that only if every single person is conscious of providing an essential contribution, the work will be successful, just as in political (and collective) action.
