Pianoforte’s team of professors and students gathered their strengths in a combined music project, which in a couple of months should take them on a musical journey to the eternal city of Rome. Every year, during the summer months in Rome, a summer music festival is held where musicians from many countries have opportunities to come and play their music for the Italian audience. This festival is named “Concerti del Tempietto: Roma” and its philosophy and tradition was taken as a positive challenge for hard effort and as grand motivation to work on music pieces from different epochs. However, the biggest refreshment will be that beside one of “Pianoforte’s” professors (who is already known to the stage) the students will also perform at the festival. This will be a giant leap in their live performances and it will widen their horizons and experiences in the world of music.
Evolution through the nurture of tradition- this though spontaneously has integrated itself as a concept in the work of the music educators and members of the “Pianoforte” ensemble. As a guiding thought it reflects in every segment of this project: as in the choice of the repertoire, and in the act of inviting young musicians- students, to debut as guests, in front of the Italian audience.
The membership of the ensemble consists of musicians established through the decades, young musicians and music educators- a company whose idea resulted in a fresh approach to tradition. The ensemble itself, with its mixed members, fuses together the knowledge and emotions of three generations of musicians. That is how the repertoire of the concerts in Rome was formed. Each composition is a beacon of its time. It carries with itself the tradition, which entangles the results of its own evolution. Having in mind that music is a reflection of the times- a presentation of the lifestyle and emotions, “Pianoforte” makes these concerts as a music display of the past, though the contemporary prism. The program fuses together the old with the new, the sad with the joyful, and the folklore with the artistic.
This is a part of the compositors whose masterpieces (or parts of them) will be played by “Pianoforte’s” ensemble in Rome : Svetiev, Igudesman, Joo, Ligeti, Prokofiev, Moszkowski, Mozart…
In this music performance, “Pianoforte’s” ensemble chose to musically express itself through both solo and chamber compositions- contemporary, popular classics and innovative arrangements that fuse together seemingly incompatible compositions. Pieces which impressed the musicians (members of the ensemble) in a given moment of their carrier so much, that motivated them to preform them for the broader public. The goal of their performance during the cycle of the two concerts in Rome is to show the Italian audience the flow of the music life in North Macedonia. The concerts will have their pre-premiere in front of the local audience.
Also, “Pianoforte “is already in its third decade of work, and has nurtured a few generations of musically educated- once children, now- adults.
