For the first time in a decade, ANOHNI presents a series of concerts with the Johnsons and, responding to a time of upheaval, issues a challenge: It’s Time to Feel What’s Really Happening. Since the foundation of the band, in 1998 ANOHNI ha established a unique path as an artist with a focus on animist and eco-feminist themes: her musical journey has spanned genres – from electronic experimental to avant-classical, dance, and soul. After breakthrough success, ANOHNI achieved a nomination for an Academy Award (best song) for the environmentalist elegy Manta Ray. The artist reaches for courage, resilience, and ceremony in the face of an unprecedented contemporary landscape, and emphasizes: «for me, there’s no heavenly respite; Creation is a spectral and feminine continuum, and we remain an inalienable part of Nature».

The state of the art of Tex-Mex music in the last three decades: this is Calexico, the duo formed by Joey Burns and John Convertino, who in the mid-nineties, already much more than just the rhythm section of Giant Sand, embarked on an instrumental rock adventure that was to reshape the mental physiognomy of Arizona, infecting listeners and encouraging disciples worldwide.
Don Antonio Gramentieri, the most international of the contemporary musicians from Romagna, has drunk from the fountain of their sonic wisdom, a place of imagination where languid melodies of eternal dusk unfold over boundless landscapes, hand in hand with a guitar that lulls and cradles, speaking a language that needs no codes.
The future of food between sustainability and education

Via Sancti Romualdi 2024 Carlo Petrini The future of food between sustainability and education
in collaboration with Associazione Romagna-Camaldoli
«Food is no longer nourishment and therapy. Rather, it makes our bodies sick through bad habits that favour quantity over quality. It makes our souls sick because it triggers severe social injustice. And it makes the planet sick because it is one of the biggest contributors to the climate crisis, for which it will pay a very high price.» “Carlin” Petrini is very determined, and has been so for some time. Activist, writer and gastronome, Petrini is the founder of the Slow Food movement (now in its 40th year) and of the first University of Gastronomic Sciences. Once again, he has turned his attention to food, insisting on the need for nutritional education through proper schooling: an invaluable tool for achieving the more sustainable future that the new generations are already demanding.

music Verne Reynolds, Johann Sebastian Bach, James Mattern, Dmitrij Shostakovich, Derek Bourgeois, José Enrique Crespo
In an orchestra, the brass section provides sculptural power, verticality and solidity. But a brass section—trumpet, trombone, horn and tuba—can also stand alone and perform without an orchestra. Few orchestras in the world can boast a brass section like that of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which has long been known for its matchless brilliance and distinctive sound. For decades and generations, they have kept the tradition alive, offering a glorious display of skill in programmes that include surprising arrangements such as Bach’s Toccata or the movement from a Shostakovich string quartet, as well as brilliant pieces composed especially for this ensemble.

The Inuit are one of the world’s oldest and most peaceful peoples. However, they are currently at a crucial crossroads. Inhabiting an area that spans Alaska, Greenland and Canada, threatened by climate change and mining policies in Canada and the United States, forced to limit their traditional hunting practices, plagued by rampant alcoholism, and with the highest youth suicide rate in the world, their population has dwindled to 120,000. The new project by Barbieri, Cherstich, Pizzo, Casotti and Pupillo aims to share their plight through theatre, film and music. Featuring original music, images especially shot in Greenland, and the voice of Karina Moeller, an Inuit singer now based in Denmark, the story explores the shifting balance between light and dark, where urban modernity and archaic lifestyles coexist.

JANUA
The music of the dialogue between East and West during the last Schism
“Every doorway has two sides (…) So I, the doorkeeper of the heavenly court, Look towards both East and West at once.”

music Guillaume Dufay, Janus Plousiadenos, Manuel Doukas Chrysaphes
Janua explores the unique, brief and relatively unknown period of the Council of Florence in 1439. Combining the evocative voices of the French ensemble Irini with an ensemble of medieval instruments, trumpets and trombones, this project sheds light on the momentous historical event when the Council unsuccessfully attempted to negotiate union with the Eastern Churches and save Constantinople, which instead went up in flames in 1453, leaving traces that still resonate today, more than half a millennium later. Janua (Latin for “door”) looks both East and West through the eyes of Dufay, a first-hand witness to these events: few know the motets he composed between Greece and Italy, influenced by the polyphony of contemporary Byzantine composers: on the shores of the Mediterranean, the meeting point of different civilisations that were destined to engage in dialogue.

Story of Galla Placidia in seven scenes

Dilexi Story of Galla Placidia in seven scenes
chamber opera for soprano, baritone, choir and ensemble

Coro & Ensemble 1685 del Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi di Ravenna
Agnese Contadini harp
Raffaele Damenaccordion
conductorAntonio Greco
commissioned by Ravenna Festival
Galla Placidia, born in the Ancient World and deceased in the Middle Ages, is evoked through seven episodes, seven thinking hearts, seven different cities: Milan, where she mourns at the funeral of her father Theodosius, celebrated by Bishop Ambrose; then Rome, Barcelona, Ravenna, Constantinople, and back to Ravenna, where she feeds on the words of Bishop Peter Chrysologus, then in Rome again, where she concludes her wandering life at the court of Pope Leo the Great, clutching her young son. The narrative, articulated in seven tableaux separated by silent pauses, begins with the last word uttered by Galla’s father: Dilexi, “I have loved”. The seven scenes are sung by the choir, to which the seven last words of Christ on the cross are entrusted. Symbolically, the concert takes place in the Church of St John the Evangelist, which Galla built in fulfilment of a vow she had made when she was in danger of being shipwrecked on her way back from Constantinople.

For almost a century, the State Police Marching Band has carried the Italian flag all over the world, even collaborating with artists such as Claudio Baglioni, Stefano Bollani and Amii Stewart. Since its foundation in 1928, the ensemble has developed a symphonic vocation, thanks to the intuition of its first conductor, Maestro Giulio Andrea Marchesini, who approached the ensemble as if it were a real orchestra. This signature has remained unchanged over the years. As a result, their repertoire includes complex transcriptions and arrangements of operas and symphonies as well as original band music. Today, the hundred or so musicians who make up this fascinating ensemble bring their unmistakable sound to major events, turning every concert into an exciting experience for everyone.

in collaboration with Lugocontemporanea
Of all the experimental jazz singers in Italy today, John De Leo is one of the most interesting: with his malleable voice, his unclassifiable style and his taste for musical adventure, he has created the Jazzabilly Quartet, a project he has had in mind for years, in which rock ’n’ roll and jazz are mixed in a bewildering and entertaining way. Presley and Coltrane, the Stray Cats and jazz standards are juxtaposed and transformed by De Leo with unbridled gusto as he explores possible connections between seemingly incompatible repertoires, always in a playful spirit in which voice and instruments perform bewildering somersaults and jump between styles with consistency and curiosity. Regularly supported by his no less brilliant trio, De Leo is joined on this occasion by two truly exceptional guests: Rita Marcotulli, an incomparable improviser whose sound is unique and inspired, and and the imaginative, trustworthy yet unpredictable trombonist Gianluca Petrella.

A small ensemble for big musical challenges. Four soloists from the legendary Vienna Philharmonic, accompanied by a piano, have joined forces to reinvent the concept of the orchestra with their strikingly original performance choices. The Viennese ensemble loves to take its audiences on unexpected and electrifying journeys through eras and musical styles that are seemingly far apart: from the great classics to pop music, film, and ballet; from grand opéra to French chansons or the klezmer repertoire. Not just the usual crossover, but a virtuoso challenge based on surprising combinations and highly sophisticated practices. A Mission Possible, as stated in the title of their first album, released in 2018, when the “Phil Five” embarked on their adventure as a quintet in Wien, the world capital of great music.
