The third chapter of the European project, EUROPA ROME<\/em> takes a different stance from the others with an encounter between jazz and contemporary music.<\/p>\n

\u2028\u2028By the very nature of the various movements and experiments carried out in 20th<\/sup> century Italy by such pioneers and other leading lights as Luciano Berio, Luigi Nono, Fausto Romitelli etc., Italy and its capital Rome constitute an excellent playground for exploring areas of contemporary music. For the ONJ, EUROPA ROME <\/em>was at once an atypical project and a brand-new experience, and Olivier Benoit chose to entrust two composers with the programme: France’s Benjamin de la Fuente and the Italian Andrea Agostini, two of today’s writers who have fallen for Rome and who both reflect a current in contemporary music with an unconventional approach, not least in the use of varying musical materials and a keen insistence on performance\u2026 So the project represented a major challenge, for both the musicians and the composers, and it engendered a particular kind of innovation and originality in the treatment of sound, timbre and rhythm, and also the relationships that exist within a group.<\/p>\n

Through two original pieces written specially for the Orchestra, Benjamin de la Fuente and Andrea Agostini deliver a highly personal vision of Rome that borrows from souvenirs and reawakened emotions, and from their own intimate rapport with the city. Two contrasted works that oscillate between high-voltage outbursts, irresistible orchestral masses, and more melancholy, intimate passages, improvisations and rock explosions included\u2026 EUROPA ROME, a program guaranteed to muddy the trail of music genres!<\/p>\n
