Influences15 musicians from 11 countries and 3 continents, speaking in 8 different languages thrown together to create an absolutely novel music. World Music in the true sense of the word, music from Planet Earth, the globe in its entirety. The Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio represents a unique experience, perhaps the first of its kind. Each musician brought to the orchestra their instruments and personal backgrounds of traditional music creating a fusion of cultures, old and new sounds, unknown instruments, memories, distant yet universal melodies, and voices from around the world. And when the orchestra begins to play, rhetoric goes out the window, swept away by the sheer carnal and visceral force of their music, which eclipses vague discussions of “good” and “right”. It is evocative music that manages to be free and structured at the same time, bound to millennial traditions and yet open to the future. Music that gets hands clapping and entrances a broad range of listeners, from the more refined to the more distracted. Music you can sing to, dance to, and listen to in peace and quiet. Music that belongs to everyone, for everyone. The Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio is a “product” without a target. A marvelous anomaly in the contaminated sea of pop music that can’t be pigeonholed into a specific category. There’s an entire world there for the understanding and enjoyment: free your minds and listen. Since its debut in November 2002, the Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio has performed in over 250 concerts in Italy and abroad including New York, Buenos Aires, Paris, Melbourne, Vienna, the Berlin Jazz Festival, Köln, Nuremberg, and Switzerland. It has produced 2 CDs, their debut album L’Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio in 2004 and Sona in 2006, as well as the CD Made in Piazza Vittorio which can be found in the special edition DVD set. “The Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio” is also the name of our feature-length film: a film-diary that narrates the genesis of the Orchestra.

   About Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio
"The Magic Flute" Adapted from W. A Mozart- Papageno sings like a griot, the Queen of the Night speaks through a gang of Arabs, Prince Tamino loses his voice when he falls in love and whistles... a long, sweet duel between the Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio and Mozart is coming to life thanks to a mad proposal to bring the Magic Flute and the Orchestra together on stage. Mario Tronco, the Artistic Director, began to listen to the Opera again as he had never done before. He had forgotten the popular roots of the arias in the Magic Flute. He thought that one way to do the opera with the Orchestra was to approach it as if it had never been written down but passed on orally through songs and tales across the countries of origin of the musician’s in the orchestra including all the imperfections in memories and the transformations that occur when you alter melodies into your own language. Starting from this premise, Mario began to give each musician in the Orchestra a role from the Magic Flute: Ernesto, the Cuban, became Tamino, Pap, the percussionist from Senegal, became Papageno thanks to the similarity with his name... For The Magic Flute, the Orchestra will be completed by four special guests: Leandro Piccioni on piano, Sanjay Kansa Banik on tablas, and Sylvie Lewis as Pamina and Petra Magoni as the Queen of the Night-------------- "Sona" (The album) Sona is a group effort that started at the Piccolo Apollo (our rehearsal space), matured during our concerts, and came together at the Piccolo Apollo which was transformed into a recording studio for the event. It is the conclusion of two year's of work on the part of each musician: coming up with a way to play with others without betraying their individual style. Not an easy task if you consider the various instruments we were dealing with, and nearly impossible if you consider the diverse artistic and geographic background of the musicians. The OPV is made up of folk, classical, pop, jazz and street artists and the fact that each one of them feels represented by this album truly gives the sense of the entire project. Today, more than ever, the Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio belongs to all of them. Sona is also the felicitous result of two years on tour and more than 130 concerts and the enthusiastic and demonstrative reaction of affectionate audiences. When you play and people respond with warmth and interest, you know that youre on the right track. This album reflects our heartfelt artistic pleasure and it is dedicated to our audiences at every concert. ---------------The Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio was conceived and created by Mario Tronco and Agostino Ferrente A project which stems from the Associazione Apollo 11.

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..? 

(C) David Franks 2003
