ABOUT THIS EVENT

Blow Up Percussion
Students of the

percussion instruments class of the "O.Respighi" Conservatory of Latina of the Maestro Rodolfo Rossi

John Luther Adams
Inuksuit

In the Gardens of the Roman Philharmonic echoes Inuksuit, an open-air “sound monument” by John Luther Adams, an American composer who makes the dialogue between nature and music his very personal stylistic signature. The percussionists, spread throughout the spaces of the gardens, evoke the inuksuit – sentinel stones of the Inuit tradition, which embody the fragile human presence in front of the glacial immensity of the Arctic. The public will be able to wander freely through our Gardens, discovering music in live dialogue with nature and transforming the sound space into a shared experience.

In collaboration with the Conservatorio Statale di Musica “Ottorino Respighi” Latina
