THE FIRST COMPOSITION COMPETITION IN ITALY IN TERMS OF PARTICIPANTS!

We are thrilled to announce that the first edition of the "Premio di Roma Andrea Ceraso" Composition Competition has obtained an extraordinary result: 247 scores submitted from 44 countries! This makes it the first Italian competition in terms of participants, and among the very first internationally.  The pieces received are from the following countries (in alphabetical order): Albania, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, Iran, Israel, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Slovenia, Slovakia, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom and United States.  This result was made possible thanks to a number of people and institutions, among which Associazione Culturale Eufonia —our partner in this endeavour— and its president Andrea Tagliaferri, its artistic director Claudio Cavallaro, our dear Saria Convertino, and Andrea's friends, Andrea Salvi, Massimo Spada, Angelo Magnifico, Fabiana Piersanti Rigano, Corinna Ricasoli (Archivitaly) and many others. But above all, this remarkable result was achieved by Andrea Ceraso himself: a special person and friend, and a talented professional who enjoyed the esteem of many musicians worldwide.  The jury, chaired by Sidney Corbett, and composed of Alessio Elia and Vincenzo De Filippo, is now busy evaluating the pieces. The winners will be announced by 15 August 2021. A heartfelt thanks goes out to all the composers who submitted and shared their works and to all those who made this happen.






CHI SIAMO

(Info regarding the Associazione SHE LIVES - click on the flag for the English version)

SHE LIVES è un’associazione culturale nata per promuovere la musica del nostro tempo e svincolarla dalla stanca e meccanica abitudine di definirla accostando al sostantivo musica l’aggettivo contemporanea: la contemporaneità non è e non può essere una declinazione del linguaggio musicale, ma la condizione in cui viviamo il tempo presente.
 
SHE LIVES vuole oltrepassare il perimetro accademico della cosiddetta musica classica contemporanea, coltivando tenacemente tutte le risonanze possibili tra il suono del nostro tempo e gli oggetti sonori prodotti dalla storia. SHE LIVES apre dunque naturalmente gli occhi sugli autori e sulle opere che sfuggono ai canoni convenzionali del linguaggio contemporaneo, e accoglie nel proprio territorio tutte le musiche e tutti i musicisti che si conquistano con la ricerca e la passione il diritto di appartenere all’universo della contemporaneità.
 
 
 
 


Questo video di presentazione è stato realizzato dagli allievi dall’Accademia di Cinema e Televisione Griffith, in modo del tutto volontario come segno di apprezzamento e supporto alle nostre attività. I ragazzi sono stati invitati a partecipare dal loro direttore Vincenzo Ramaglia, il quale li ha sensibilizzati sulle finalità del progetto culturale di SHE LIVES.
 
Agli allievi dell’Accademia Griffith e alla sensibilità del loro direttore va il nostro profondo ringraziamento.
 
 
 
 
SHE LIVES è un laboratorio di idee e un promotore di progetti. Un luogo ideale in cui musicisti, poeti, scrittori e artisti elaborano la loro idea di contemporaneità e la traducono in proposte concrete, incontri, suoni nuovi, da ascoltare nell’unica dimensione possibile: il concerto dal vivo.
 
Ideata da Fabiana Piersanti e fondata insieme a Guido Barbieri e il compositore Alessio Elia, dal 2012 l’Associazione ha realizzato eventi e ha collaborato in partnership con Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, Università di Performing Arts di Mannheim, Istituto Svizzero di Roma, Accademia d’Ungheria in Roma, Filarmonica Romana, RadioCEMAT, Fondazione Isabella Scelsi, Associazione I Solisti Aquilani, Società Amici della Musica Guido Michelli di Ancona, UMZE, lo storico ensemble fondato da Béla Bartók, l’Accademia Musicale Chigiana, il BMC – Budapest Music Center, I Solisti del Teatro alla Scala di Milano, RAI Radio 3, le etichette discografiche Warner Classics e Naxos.
 
Il festival “SHE LIVES incontra l’Ungheria”, realizzato nel 2014, ha ospitato l’unico concerto in Italia celebrativo dei 70 anni di Péter Eötvös, svoltosi alla sua straordianria presenza. Nel 2015 uno dei concerti del progetto “Non abbiamo pianto”, nato per far dialogare la musica scritta nei campi di concentramento con la musica d’oggi, è stato realizzato nelle stazioni della Metropolitana di Roma, che per la prima volta nei suoi 60 di storia ha ospitato un’orchestra sinfonica.
 
I partner ideali di SHE LIVES sono istituzioni culturali, fondazioni e imprese che desiderano un dialogo con il territorio in cui operano intercettandone i bisogni culturali e che si ispirano al principio della responsabilità sociale d’impresa.
