From Sardinia to Puglia: when a concert becomes a project
After the summer break, the Note Senza Tempo international early music festival resumes its journey with two very special events.
Two concerts, in two different places and at two different times, to allow the public to choose the most convenient appointment and return to experiencing live music together.
4 September | SASSARI
Ore 20.30
Church of San Pietro in Silki
5 September | URI
Ore 19.00
Fountain square
The protagonist of the two events will be FUTURE ORPHEUS | Instrumental ensemble, variable geometry formation, from quartet to orchestra, which brings together from 2010 Italian and international musicians specialized in performance practices on historical instruments.
Over the years, the ensemble has developed numerous projects dedicated to ancient music, often putting different repertoires into dialogue and collaborating with important artists, Italian and European ensembles and festivals.
A journey into great Italian music
The program is dedicated to centrality of Italian musical culture in the golden period that goes from the Second Practice to the international success of vocality and melodrama.
A path that starts from Giulio Caccini and Claudio Monteverdi and arrives at Corelli, Haendel, Porpora and Vivaldi, showing how the extraordinary musical creativity developed in our Peninsula has progressively influenced European musical culture.
Alongside the great vocal pages, there are some of the most representative forms of instrumental production of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: jacket, follies and variations on bass ostinato, expressions of a musical practice deeply linked to dance and destined to enjoy extraordinary success beyond the Italian borders.
In program:
Giulio caccio – Sweetest Sigh
YY.YY. – Coat for various instruments
Claudio Monteverdi – I want to get out of life, Ciaccona
Andrea Falconieri – Folia made for Mrs.
George Friederich Haendel – A thought that is an enemy of peace, and Ariodante
Nicola Porpora – High Jupiter, and Polyphemus
Archangel Corelli – Ciaccona
Antonio Vivaldi – In the fury of a most righteous anger, RV 626
But the journey doesn't end here
And it is precisely on the occasion of these concerts that we would like to share with our audience a reflection that for Dolci Accenti has become, over the years, a fundamental part of the way you conceive your business.
A musical project should not necessarily end with just one concert.
They are behind a production musicological research, study of sources, prove, preparation of the artists, planning and investments. This is why we believe it is important to create the conditions for a program to succeed be replicated, circulate and reach different audiences.
The ability to take a project to multiple festivals isn't simply about adding dates to a calendar. It means giving continuity to artistic work, allow musicians to further delve into the repertoire and allow a project to mature through different experiences and audiences.
From Sardinia to Puglia
This is what will happen soon with one of our most important collaborations.
Sweet Accents Ensemble and Hof-Musici they will in fact be protagonists in Puglia at the Anima Mea festival, bringing some of the projects born from the research and collaboration work developed in recent years into a new context.
It is a concrete example of what the circulation of projects between festivals: a program does not remain confined to the place where it was presented for the first time, but he can continue to live, meet other audiences and become an opportunity for artistic discussion.
But the concert of 5 September in Uri has an even more important meaning for us, because it arises from the collaboration and network between local cultural realities.
The event is in fact included in the VII edition of “Le Piazze per la Storia – Cultural Identitary Festival” – Sàmbene Sardu: Battles of Sardinia and of the Sardinians.
And this is precisely the direction the Dolci Accenti Association has been pursuing for years, encouraging collaborations with festivals, Italian and international musical ensembles and institutions.
Collaborating means growing
Collaboration between different realities allows us to share skills, ideas and resources, but above all of progressively raise the quality level of production.
For ancient music this aspect is particularly important. Performance quality does not arise only from the choice of great musicians, but also by the possibility of working together, discuss sources and executive practices, try and resume a program, make it grow through experience.
A project that is executed several times can therefore become more solid, more aware and artistically more mature.
And at the same time festivals can build relationships between themselves that are not simply occasional, ma true collaborations capable of generating new projects.
A network that makes music travel
This is also the value of the network between festivals and, for Sweet Accents, of belonging to REMA – European Early Music Network: create relationships, encourage meetings and make possible greater circulation of artists and productions.
From the Sardinia to Puglia, and through international collaborations, the music can thus continue to travel.
Because we believe that a concert shouldn't just be an evening, but it can become a stage in a longer journey.
A path in which research meets the public, artists meet other artists and festivals collaborate to give music more opportunities to be heard, known and experienced.
We look forward to seeing you on 4 September in Sassari and the 5 September in Uri.
And this will be just the next chapter of a journey that, for us, continues well beyond the last applause.
