Fondazione Musica per Roma unveils four-year cultural plan
Fondazione Musica per Roma, responsible for the Auditorium Parco della Musica, which was designed by Renzo Piano and opened in 2002, has unveiled a four-year initiative called Progetto “per” Roma. This program aims to extend music beyond the Auditorium into the city's outskirts through festivals, concerts, and community involvement. Daniele Pitteri, the CEO and former director of the Complesso Museale di Santa Maria della Scala in Siena, introduced the project. Collaborations with universities will provide courses, workshops, and masterclasses. Key festivals include Libri Come starting June 11, Roma Jazz Festival from November 1 to 18, Festival delle Scienze from November 22 to 28, and the Roma Gospel Festival in December. The Equilibrio Festival, curated by Emanuele Masi, is set for February 2022. Summer concerts will feature artists like Emma and Niccolò Fabi, with over 80 performers at Casa del Jazz from June 30 to September 7.
