Mantua: the tenth edition of the MantovaMusica festival is underway
The tenth edition of MantovaMusica is underway, a project born in 2016 that has now become part of the cultural customs of the citizens of Mantua.
Proposing music today, in a social context that has changed profoundly, is a challenge that requires uncommon reflections and organizational skills. For this reason, the interaction between the associations that are at the head of this project, Società della Musica, Artico and Diabolus in musica, has constituted the cornerstone of a fundamental strategy to succeed, year after year, in offering the public great musical events that will remain in the collective memory of Mantua's music lovers.
The programme for the first six months of the festival was presented in the council chamber of the Municipality of Mantua on Thursday 9 January by Mayor Mattia Palazzi and the artistic directors Stefano Giavazzi, Stefano Maffizzoni and Leonardo Zunica.
The ability to dialogue on a high and organic cultural level with the representative bodies of our city has given MantovaMusica that unique physiognomy of a complex, rich and significant musical proposal: the attention to the talent represented by the young generations of the Società della Musica, to the needs of the more traditional music-loving audience of the Sunday Concerts, the necessary inclusion of the contemporary repertoires and artistic practices of Eterotopie, are the strengths of a project that draws on the imagination and awareness of the artistic direction. The constant proximity of public institutions, starting from the Municipality of Mantua, with its commendable attention to the cultural rebirth of our city, has then represented a solid base on which to build and branch out musical meetings that from time to time respond to the global cultural issues posed by philanthropic organizations and the strategic lines dictated by the MiC (Ministry of Culture). Without these contributions, MantovaMusica would not have been able to celebrate its tenth edition, at least in the form that is visible and immediately accessible to all citizens, in events that also include moments of friendly conviviality.
A final thought before meeting the public, families, friends and friends at the concerts and initiatives that are proposed throughout 2025: today, perhaps more than ever, it is necessary to continue not only listening but also talking about music, making it an essential point of our relationship with the world, and thus accepting to include the wonder of listening to music, with the complex of emotions and thoughts that it provokes, among our daily habits. Because listening to music is a poetic, social and political act, in the highest sense of the term, which improves our lives.
On Friday 17 January 2025, at 21.00 pm at the Auditorium Monteverdi, the inaugural concert of the tenth concert season of MantovaMusica will be held, with Alexander Romanovsky on the piano and music by F. Liszt.
