FolkMus - Young musicians and old stories, folk music in musEUms and more
Start date: May 6, 2013,
Starting from the results of "FolkMus - Folk music in MusEUms,Young musicians and old instruments" the project will widen and enrich the aims and activities, increasing geographical richness and musical traditions with a larger partnership. Objectives:- Spread and enhance the FolkMus experience and folk traditions at European level, participating in festivals, fairs and live performances;- Investigate each Country tradition and find common features in terms of instruments, tunes, tales and stories. The drone instruments will be again the link among countries;- Produce a joint concept multimedia product, involving young musicians and the partnership as large;- Produce a joint concept show;- Implement educational activities in schools and cultural centres with the aims to support the intercultural education by the music. Based upon some folk traditions, a concept album enriched by graphic-video booklet and a concept live show will be realised. Those creative products will be built up by a group of young musicians and cultural operators coming from different EU countries: they will share music, instruments, tales and legends beyond their own traditions. An Artistic director will lead the group along the project that will include: artist-in-residences, live performances, recording sessions. Musicians will have the opportunity to gather, play together, work in remote. This mutual understanding will lead to decompose each musical piece and reconstruct it in a new and original product that should represent contemporary Europe, multicultural rich and appealing. The concept album and the live performances, and educational planned will reach various audiences in different Countries, sharing this collective work, carried out in a context of cooperation that links young musicians and professionals from various corners of Europe. For all musicians and professionals involved and for the audiences FolkMus will be an opportunity to growth and widening of the horizons.
