After ten months of work, we are finally ready to start the musical adventure of Officina Filarmonica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The musicians of Officina Filarmonica<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We knew that the idea of forming an amateur orchestra was ambitious, especially in a city like Rome, which is not very receptive to classical music. However, we did not imagine the difficulties<\/strong> we would encounter in finding amateurs who, like us, shared a passion for music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We came up against a culture<\/strong> that believes music is for the chosen few, for professionals only. A culture that equates the concept of an amateur with that of an amateurish person. The culture of those who want to maintain classical music as an elitist stronghold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also had to deal with the lack of trust and collaborative spirit<\/strong> among many amateurs who, caught up in their professional commitments, no longer believe in the possibility of getting involved and playing music again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, we have formed a small group<\/strong> of musicians who, although still far from a symphony orchestra, will be the starting point of Officina Filarmonica’s musical project. We extend our thanks to all the musicians who have joined us: for their enthusiasm, passion, and desire to make music together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this moment on, the possibility of applying to join the orchestra<\/a> for available roles will always remain open. To play with us, all that is required is to fill out the application form<\/a> and submit a brief audition video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first concert<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To inaugurate our activities, we are preparing Sentimento Barocco<\/em><\/strong>, a concert dedicated to baroque music, which will take place on Saturday, October 28, 2023<\/strong>, at 5:00 PM, at the Basilica dei Santi Bonifacio e Alessio in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert will be conducted by Maestro Rocco Sbardella<\/a>, with the following program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
