Comments

This children’s opera, to be performed by many children (and a few adults) on stage and in the pit, enjoys great popularity in schools and communities, and has had, since its première countless productions all over the world. Many of these have been prepared in the course of the school year, in the form of music and art lessons, and represent, in the ideal case, the result of a mutual creative, interdisciplinary effort. see also “Children’s Entertainment” · “Six Pieces for Young Pianists” · “Sonatina for Violin and Piano” (1979) · “Three Fairytale Scenes”

Il progetto Henze

Quando la regione della Ruhr è stata scelta come Capitale europea della cultura, il suo direttore artistico Steven Sloane ha immediatamente individuato in Hans Werner Henze un punto di riferimento musicale, una star mondiale con radici nella regione e un'opera che comprende tutti i generi musicali e un'ampia proposta per bambini, giovani e dilettanti, e che potrebbe quindi fare da rete all'intera regione.

Il progetto Henze

Sulla creazione del Cantiere Internazionale d'Arte di Montepulciano

Hans Werner Henze ha fondato il Cantiere nel 1976 e lo ha diretto per cinque anni. Grazie alla realizzazione di progetti comuni da parte di residenti di tutte le età con artisti di fama internazionale e giovani talenti, divenne rapidamente uno dei festival musicali più importanti in Italia e anche in Europa, se ci si concentra sulle implicazioni educative e sociali.
