The music project
The attention that the Fondazione Spinola Banna per l’Arte dedicates to training and promotion of young musicians focalizes on the one hand on commissions of new works which enter the reportoire of the ensembles which interpret them, and on the other hand on the creation of a workshop which involves authors as well as performers.
To pick out young talents we rely on the suggestions of an internationally-known composer, who indicates the more interesting and promising personalities. Then a chamber setting is chosen, which should have a reference to a corresponding work in the classic repertoire. Once that the needed chamber ensemble is found and that the commissioned works are finished, the tutor, the young composers and the performers reunite in Banna for the week-long workshop.
In this way authors and performers are put together and have the chance of confront themselves on a musical text, analysing and discussing it with a view to the first performance which takes place in the Fondazione’s concert hall; the final phase of the creative process melts itself with the perfoming moment, involving all the musicisans.
