The Italian composer comes back to Venice as a guest of Musicafoscari, project entirely dedicated to music and realised by the Venetian University.

The show makes the audience move into another dimension, fluid and free from any musical difference and genre. The next days, the composer and improviser will be working with musician students in permanent-way workshops promoted by Musicafoscari on the topic of improvisation. This transmission of notions will be put into practice by girls and boys in a final performance open to public, on Saturday 27th November 2021 at 18.30 in the Auditorium Santa Margherita.
