Toshio Hosokawa: Music Project 2010

My music is calligraphy, painted on the open border of time and space. Each individual note has a form, like a line or a point applied with a brush. These lines are painted on a canvas of silence. Its border, part of the silence, is just as important as what is audible. (Toshio Hosokawa)

Maestro Toshio Hosokawa, the prestigious Japanese composer, has been invited to programme and coordinate the fourth edition of the music workshop. Following projects objectives, he called Paola Livorsi and Federico Gardella to work on compositions for violin, piano, cello and clarinet.

At the Foundation, the two composers will have the opportunity to work in collaboration with the musicians of the Trio di Parma (Alberto Miodini piano, Ivan Rabaglia violin, Enrico Bronzi cello), with Ib Hausmann (clarinetto), who will interpret new compositions in the concert hall of the Banna Estate.

The concert program, in which the two new works will be presented, will include Hosokawas Stunden-Blumen (Toki no Hana) and a trio from classic repertoir.
