The Cultural Association, AGORARTE is once again organizing the Music in the Park, hosted by Viganò City Council with the intention of offering students, professional musicians, and enthusiasts, 10 days of full musical conversation, alternating between lessons, conferences, labs, musical aperitifs, and concerts. Shared convivial moments, along the paths and in hidden corners of the Montevecchia and Curone Valley Regional Park, with the idea that Music and Nature are part of the same Beauty.
The Campus courses are open to students, professionals and amateurs, with no age limit, and they can take part as members of the association, as actual students, or simply as listeners.
Designed as a residential course, the Campus offers participants the opportunity to discover a beautiful yet little known area, just a few minutes from Lake Como, situated between the cities of Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco, and to come into contact with those local realities which keep memories of the past, and traditions alive.
We believe that Culture and Art in particular are both fundamental for the formation of the individual and that they are an exceptional and uniting resource, above all in this period of cultural crisis. For this motive, Agorarte would like to make the Campus available to everybody, and asks whoever has the possibility, to welcome into their homes, the young people who would like to take part but who don’t have the means.
Now at it’s fifth edition, Music in the Park is enriching the event with courses and labs dedicated to Primary and Secondary school teachers, to adults who want to actively learn something about making music and to anybody interested, for passion or for professional necessity, to the use of the voice. Much time will be dedicated, too, to the flauto dolce, with two courses sponsored by Erta Italia.
Just as every year, alongside the lessons, a whole list of activities - FuoriCampus – in which pupils and teachers will alternate between being actors and spectators, opening the Campus doors both to citizens in the local community and to interested passers-by.
