Spaceless Polyphonies, the 9th edition of concert series Villa Romana, curated by Civitella Advisory Council Member Francesco Dillon, is to take place in Florence during the 15th and 16th of September.

One of the pieces will be Occhi, the new Pocket Opera by the Japanese composer and future 2019 Civitellian, Noriko Baba.

See link below for the program and more info. 

The series will follow the common theme of timeless and spaceless mutating polyphonies that are rich in assonances and references to worlds only seemingly distant from each other, from both the stylistic and temporal points of view.

The program of Timeless /Spaceless Polyphonies is distinguished by the superb level of accomplishment of the invited artists and the variety of events on offer. It is a quest for non-sectorial musical directions that bring together only apparently distant languages (classical and contemporary music, electronics, improvisation, figurative art and oral narration) through themes that go beyond categories and aim at speaking to (and helping to create) a curious and dynamic audience.
