Sounds and identities on the move
Teaching module for secondary schools 27 October - 10 November 2020
Shifting sounds and the pitfalls of colour, skin and more. A contradiction? We’ll explore the topics with the weapons of culture, irony and free artistic creativity, immersing ourselves in history. We’ll think back to the problematic concept of “identity”, a concept that is also creative in music.With a focus on how the perception of a person’s voice is influenced by what we see or imagine, by the message to be communicated, by social roles, and ultimately, by what we want to project of ourselves towards others. With Stefano Zenni, musicologist and pianist.

What odd music
- Tuesday 3 November 2020 at 10:00 - 12:00
With the emergence of discrimination due to the colour of one’s skin and the transformation of cultural diversity into biological differences, the concept of “passing” has developed, that is, posing as a person of another colour. We will discover that the concept of “identity” is a creative and very fluid reality in music as well.

Playing with a thousand identities
- Tuesday 10 November 2020 at 10:00 - 12:00
Who says a voice belongs to a certain “ethnic" identity? We will explore how voice is always a social construct, a way to create a character, to communicate a certain type of message or convey a precise image of oneself, especially in the world of art.
