Officina Filarmonica is a project that was born in 2023 from the idea of a small group of musicians, both professionals and amateurs, to create new opportunities for music and musicians. Italy, the cradle of world musical culture, is gradually losing the ability to adequately value music<\/strong> – especially orchestral music – and to create spaces and opportunities for performing ensembles and their audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the 54 state music conservatories and over 9.000 students enrolled in the first year of AFAM courses (Higher Education in Art, Music and Dance), there is a lack of real opportunities<\/strong> for those who wish to play professionally and as well as inadequate spaces and opportunities for that large community of non-professional musicians, who would love to foster their passion and play at a good level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Classical music<\/strong> fruition is becoming a privilege due to the national policies of disinvestment in education and culture combine a growing elitist attitude of our musical institutions, unable to be appealing to young audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Officina Filarmonica, a \u201cfactory” for those who are passionate about music, aims to free music<\/strong>, moving it out of theaters and concert halls returning it to the people. As the famous cellist Mario Brunello often says: \u201cMusic belongs to everyone, music is for everyone\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To achieve this goal, Officina Filarmonica is setting up a new Amateur Orchestra<\/a>, based in Rome, open to musicians who wish to play just for pleasure and passion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Orchestra’s activity is not for profit and is intended for musicians who have not chosen orchestral practice as a profession:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Professional musicians who, for their pleasure, want to participate in this ensemble music experience are also welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of 2024, the \u201cOfficina Filarmonica – ETS\u201d Association<\/a> was established, carrying forward the original idea through a dedicated organizational structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\nClassical Music in Italy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
