25 luglio ore 21.15
Villa Marigola
The Thinking Musician è un progetto che vede protagonisti Mark Messenger – violino, musica da camera, co-fondatore e direttore del corso, Maria Tarasewicz – pianoforte, duo coaching, co- fondatrice e direttrice del corso, Andriy Viytovych, nominato Prima Viola dell’Orchestra dalla Royal Opera House Covent garden nel 2000, e Gemma Rosefield, vincitrice del Pierre Fournier Award nel 2007. Il primo corso ha avuto luogo in Belgio nel 2017 in una comunità filosofica di pensatori e da allora ha viaggiato fino alle montagne italiane e le isole Canarie, dai mercati ai monasteri, dalle case private alle sale da concerto. Creato da Mark Messenger e Maria Tarasewicz, obiettivo principale di The Thinking Musician è di provocare intellettualmente l’artista interiore e liberarne la creatività. La formazione musicale tradizionale spesso limita la libertà dell’artista, incentrandosi sull’abilità nel suonare piuttosto che sull’arte dell’espressione creativa, e non sempre tratta l’esecutore emergente come un essere umano completo, già in possesso di immaginazione e sensibilità.
INIZIO CONCERTO
L’inizio del concerto è previsto alle ore 21.15. Si consiglia il gentile pubblico di arrivare con anticipo per procedere a prendere posto.
