#MicheleTadini is the new Artistic Director of the #BiennaleMusica for the two-year term 2027-2028. “Over a lifetime of work, learning, research, hypotheses, definitions, order and disorder, every composer/researcher asks questions about music, its reasons, its necessities. Seeking answers, they search their souls, and form convictions about what to do and what to say. I have now been entrusted to give concrete shape to these thoughts. In addition to gratitude, I feel a deep sense of responsibility. What I will say and do will not only be an expression of what I believe is important, it must also be important for the public and for music itself” → https://t.co/YlBNCeAMw4
