The International
Stage for Young Musicians VILLA BURI MUSICA is a camp for
European teenagers to improve instrument playing or singing.
Throughout the length of the stage the young musicians and
chorists will study and prepare to perfom an original musical
piece under the guidance of qualified teachers. Concurrently
will take place a Masterclass for strings, an advanced
class for violin, viola, and cello. The musical project, now at
its 6th edition, makes the young participants, the teachers, and
members of the staff to share an exciting cultural and emotional
experience that promotes both self and mutual understanding, and
creates the necessary environment to prepare for the
complexity of a musical performance.
The theme proposed
this year challenges the participants to recognize the
importance of their own cultural roots in the respect of the
environment and its natural resources.
The young musicians
will be aware of the value of their music in the society both by
interpreting the theme proposed, and by sharing the common
values of respect towards the companion musicians coming from
different countries.
During the Stage,
Giovanni Signori (actor and director) will undertake a workshops
in acting, to prepare children to play in the work.
AIMS
During the twelve days of stay, the young musicians will
enjoy the opportunity of reinforcing the awareness of their European
identity by interpreting the theme proposed in the opera and by sharing
common values with the companion musicians coming from all over Europe in a
culturally stimulating and morally sound environment in the respect of the
good rules of living together.
The execution of
an original opera
will have a special educational value both for the young
musicians and the spectators.
In view of the
celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the Unification of
Italy, the young musicians are invited to reflect on their
historical and cultural roots, also based on knowledge of
symbols related to awareness and national culture.
We hope that this
timeless message of freedom and democracy will not exhaust itself
with the end of the stage, but it will be transmitted in the
future thanks to other concerts that will be offered in Italy
and at the European locations of the partner young musician
associations.
The stage takes
place from June 29 to July 10th at Villa Bernini Buri (S.Michele
Extra, Verona), in a quiet park by the Adige river, far away
from the urban traffic. The participants are hosted in the
villa’s large rooms for all their activities. Every activity,
including free and leisure time, takes place within the villa’s
boundaries. The participants can choose among full board, or
daily stay that includes lunch and dinner, with organic food by
association “Contadini & Cucinieri”.
Full board
participants can choose to stay in the villa’s dormitory (that
can accommodate up to 35 people in rooms with 2, 6, or 10 bunk
beds) or in the camping site within the villa’s park. First come
first served rule will be applied if there are more than 35 applications. Campers are expected to bring their own tent and
camping gear.
The organization will provide some large tents.
Admission prerequisites
The program is open
to young musicians and singers between 10 and 21 years
old. The artistic direction will evaluate the admission of
musicians and singers either younger or older (not more than 25
years) willing to respect and follow the spirit and the rules of
the program. There is no audition and all the classic and modern
instruments are admitted to the program.
The Masterclass
program accepts up to 12 musicians, with 6 slots for cello and 6
for violin or viola; audition is mandatory to participate in the
Masterclass program. These 12 musicians will practice for the
main concert with all the others participants as well.
The participants
will work both in groups, according to their instrument, and in
ensemble activities to cope with the concert’s challenges and
harmonize the final performance. The musicians and singers will
be tutored by eight musical experts and
two adults who will supervise and assist during the daily
non musical activities and overnight.
During the exercises, the young musicians study their
parts and cope with the execution challenges.
Prof. Zoltán Szabó and Prof.
Peter Szántó, first cello and first violin of the Arena di Verona’s
orchestra, will run the Masterclass program. Every
participant will receive five hours of private lessons, will
attend a group workshop, and will join the other musicians for
the preparation of the final concert. The private lesson will be
hosted at the nearby school Dorigo in via Salieri 59.
