'Art Matters' Lecture: The Italian Renaissance
After almost 1000 years of 'dark ages', the genius of Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo led the way for a 'Rebirth' of learning, art and humanity. They helped to cast a bright new light on culture, and to rekindle a love of learning which encouraged science, new technology and a growing humanity. Join us at the Hills Branch Library for a look at their lives, their work, and a discussion of the Italian Renaissance. Free and open to the public. Generously sponsored by the Friends of the Wellesley Free Libraries.

"The performance of a full opera by a youth orchestra is an absolutely remarkable and rare accomplishment of which I am very proud. Opera is a fantastic tool for the musical and personal growth of our students because of the rich and intricate musical and psychological story lines that weave in and out of the music in ways that are not seen in a standard symphony." Federico Cortese, Music Director

Sounds of Italy Festival - Mr. D Spajazzy - Italian Berklee Faculty Group
 | | Click image to open file |
Sounds of Italy is a musical festival celebrating Italian music excellence in the Greater Boston area.
The inventive and contemporary vision of young Italian talents living in the United States blends with the rhythmic and harmonic roots of the Bel Paese, with a clear American jazz influence - a mix that generates a new way of making music.
A concept developed by Pescara-native singer and composer Stefano Marchese, Sounds of Italy was made possible with the collaboration and support of big names on the international music scene such as Marco Pignataro, Andrea Pejrolo, Tino D'Agostino and Giorgia Renosto, as well as the Consul General of Italy in Boston, Giuseppe Pastorelli, and Bostoniano founder Nicola Orichuia.
Each individual show will have the goal of offering a unique and exciting experience to the public. All through the different musical paths taken through the festival's first four shows, audience members will be offered a taste of the elective affinities of the Mediterranean spirit mixed in with the innovative outlook of jazz.

Register Now: ART OF THE MASK IN THE COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE WORKSHOP (June 23 - July 19)
29th International Workshop
 | | Click image to open pdf |
The work of the Sartori dates back to the post-war period (1945-47) when the Italian intellectual world renewed its desire to recover the origins of its cultural history. So the Italian sculptor Amleto Sartori started a long period of experimental research on the masks of the Italian Commedia, its characters and the construction techniques forgotten for more than two centuries, which was to bring him to the re-discovery, though it would be more precise to say the re-invention, not only of the ancient manufacturing technique for the leather masks but also of its artistic significance. Amleto died at the height of his activity, but he left his son Donato a heritage of cultural and technical knowledge which, keeping up the tradition of the ancient "bottega dell'arte", is carried out and perfected by adapting it to the needs of contemporary society. Donato started an intense collaboration with Barrault, Eduardo de Filipo, Strehler, Lecoq, Dario Fo and Peter Oskarson, creating masks for their performances. He dealt with experimental research in the field of sculpture and the graphic arts: his works can be found in various Modern Art Museums in Venice, New York, Tokyo, Mexico City, Paris and took active part in international cultural events with cultural activities. In 1979, together with the scenographer Paolo Trombetta and the architect Paola Piizzi, he founded the CENTRO MASCHERE E STRUTTURE GESTUALI. Set up as a multi-disciplinary research group, it studies the various ethnological, anthropological and spectacular aspects which involve the reality of the masks as a whole and, in a progressive evolution, it stretches beyond the creation of body masks and gestural structures and brings us right up to the environmental masking or urban masking. The Centre has held exhibitions, workshops and performances in the United States, South America, Canada, Japan, China, Russia, Africa, Indonesia and throughout Europe.
