The Five Elements
"We are proudly announcing the new concert season 2017/18, titled The Five Elements,
which comprises 25 concerts grouped in five thematic series: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and The Fifth Element.
In the new concert season we will be discovering how the elements that decode the structure of the nature
are transformed into sound: how music enables us to hug the earth, hear the air, summon the fire, let the water run over the scores…

"Don’t we all need to raise our awareness about how to better protect this planet for future generations,
to preserve and respect the beauty of the nature? Being ‘firmly rooted in tradition’, shouldn’t we resist the digital age
of never-ending online availability with a conscious perception of feelings and time? Because without art as the ‘food for the soul’, and without
that magical moment in which people devotedly and earnestly give something to other people, I would personally feel completely ‘uprooted’."
