The project seeks to establish an academic framework in the BIP format, in order to continue the first two CIVIS orchestra academies, held in Marseille (April 2022) and in Madrid (May 2023). The initiative will be led by Sapienza with the participation of CIVIS students and teachers from other partners. The main objective of this proposal is to perform a concert in Rome during the CIVIS days of June 2025, featuring CIVIS students from as many partner universities as possible, in order to show how a CIVIS community actually exists and can be made real through music, after a week of work together.
The main aspect of the physical mobility will be the rehearsals for the concert and the final concert. There will be 4 full days of rehearsals, from Sunday 8th to Wednesday 11th, from 9:00 to 13:00 (3.5 hours plus 30 mins break) and from 14:00 to 18:00 (again, 3.5 hours plus 30 mins break). Thursday 12th will have regular rehearsals in the morning (again from 9:00 to 13:00), then the dress rehearsals from 3pm to 5pm and finally the concert from 19:00 to 20:00.
The virtual component of the program will consist of six sessions, to be developed through Google Meet, which would be easily available. This will also be a good format to introduce musical scholarship together with musical performance issues in the BIP. In every session there would be additional material (texts, recordings...), and a final assessment activity.
Rehearse and perform within a symphonic orchestra of around 70 elements two masterpieces of the '800/'900: Respighi's "Pines of Rome" and Dvorak's "New World" Symphony.
