TRAMA / LOOKING FORWARD
A Trama dedicated to Generation Z, a divergent perspective that runs through the festival. We can only imagine the future of music by looking forward, a future that is made of young promises, but also of new listeners.
The 11th edition of TRAME SONORE includes actions aimed at enhancing young musical talents, cultivating the audience of tomorrow and offering opportunities for professional growth to a series of technical-administrative figures in the live entertainment sector.
Here are the eight declinations of this new Trame:
1. YOUNG TALENTS
At Trame Sonore 2023 a specific series of concerts are entrusted to chamber groups under 35. Palazzo Ducale, Palazzo Te, Palazzo D’arco, Teatro Bibiena, Piazza Alberti are just some of the venues that will host this specific widespread stage, entrusting the stage to young musicians as they embark on promising careers.
Come and meet the under 35 Trame Sonore 2023 artists>
2. LET’S DANCE
Friends, fellowship, affordable tickets, less static and formal way of fruition, in locations other than traditional theatres. Young artists. Let’s dance is a Trama inspired by these requests, surveyed through questionnaires administered to young people between 18 and 25. In the setting of Palazzo Te, a cycle of short concerts will take shape proposed in a location with a unique charm, set up in the absence of a stage and stalls, where people will sit as they feel, carrying cushions, sitting on the floor, and where, if you don’t want to sit down, choosing to dance (silently in respect of the artists and the performance) to the rhythm of the music during the performances. These will be entrusted to young musicians (among whom the winners of the OCM Academy tender – see in this regard what is described in the previous Action). The only public admitted will be under 30 and the concerts will end with a sharing moment between musicians and the public, in the Loggia di Davide of Palazzo Te.

3. MASTERCLASS WITH ALFRED BRENDEL
For years, at Trame Sonore, one of the great pianists of our time, Alfred Brendel, Guest of Honor of the Festival, has been offering the magisterium of his thought to an emerging chamber music group. The masterclass has its pinnacle in a public exhibition, in the fascinating Salone degli Arazzi of the Palazzo Vescovile. This year the Ineo Quartet will benefit from the mastery of Alfred Brendel, working on Beethoven’s opus 18.

6. MUSICAL TREASURE HUNT
ZigZago – Musical Treasure Hunt is the title of the new itinerary, conceived as part of Trame Sonore Festival 2023, to offer young people the opportunity to approach classical music through gaming. Based on a series of short concerts in various art venues (that an intense and widespread event such as Trame Sonore can make available), the map and the exploration path aim to stimulate the curiosity of the participants, highlighting the interconnections between music , history, art and architecture. Through the Trame Sonore mobile application (app), players will be asked to answer questions and solve puzzles relating to the concerts they are attending.
