About me: "A Boxful of Treasures Folk Club" è una libera Associazione Culturale, istituita con apposito statuto depositato presso l'Agenzia dell'Entrate di Forlì, nonché dalle norme del Codice Civile e dalle leggi in materia.
E' un'associazione di fatto apartitica e apolitica e al di fuori di propagande e strumentalizzazioni, dirette e indirette, politiche e di ogni genere e tipo, con durata illimitata nel tempo e senza scopo di lucro ed ha finalità esclusivamente culturali.
L'Associazione Culturale "A BOXFUL OF TREASURES FOLK CLUB” persegue gli scopi di divulgare la musica folk anglo-scoto-irlandese in Italia; proporsi come punto di riferimento per favorire l’incontro di appassionati della cultura e della musica folk anglo-scoto-irlandese, nel nome di interessi musicali e assolvendo alla funzione di maturazione e crescita culturale; la promozione, l’organizzazione e la gestione di eventi culturali propri e per conto di altri enti; stipulare accordi e convenzioni con enti pubblici e privati per l’organizzazione e la realizzazione di concerti, festival, manifestazioni a scopo culturale.
La costituzione dell'Associazione Culturale è la concreta realizzazione di un sogno nato dal nostro desiderio di condividere l'amore e la passione per la Musica Folk Anglo-Scoto-Irlandese, attraverso l'organizzazione autonoma di concerti dal vivo, di workshop, di incontri con gli artisti e di qualsiasi altra forma di espressione artistica che possa favorire la diffusione di questi generi musicali ed il loro background culturale.
La realizzazione di ogni evento nasce dalla nostra libera ed autonoma espressione creativa ed organizzativa, apolitica, apartitica, aconfessionale e senza alcun fine di lucro.
"A Boxful of Treasures Folk Club" non ha alcuna presunzione manageriale ovvero di svolgere attività al pari di un'agenzia, ma, al contrario, vuole essere un punto di riferimento per chi è appassionato ed interessato a queste forme musicali ed allo scambio di esperienze, di materiali e di informazioni, nonchè vuole cooperare nell'ideazione e nell'organizzazione di eventi musicali e culturali senza fini commerciali ma solo ed esclusivamente per sostenere l'attività dei Musicisti e della loro Arte.
Siamo convinti che la musica oltre ad essere una fonte inesauribile di emozioni e di stimoli vitali sia pregnante di cultura vera, di impulsi e di suggestioni che si sublimano nella dimensione dal vivo, grazie ad un coinvolgimento diretto che crea una dimensione unica ed irripetibile.
"A Boxful of Treasures Folk Club" nasce, quindi, dalla nostra idea di condividere e diffondere questi generi musicali e la cultura che li sostiene.
Nel continuo rispetto delle classiche tradizioni musicali, ci proponiamo di continuare, aggiornare e coltivare quei valori morali e culturali cui l'arte della musica di per sé insegna, riportandoli così a tutti coloro che desiderano avvicinarsi al meraviglioso e fantastico mondo della Musica Tradizionale Anglo-Scoto-Irlandese...
