is the result of two genuine and complementary artistic personalities meeting and joining their efforts. Orchestra conductor Giorgio Proietti and photograher and video-artist Patrizia Genovesi have decided to give birth to a space where the power of the greatest music tradition is boosted and communicated to the contemporary observer in the modern, and more familiar to him, language of video art.

Giorgio Proietti Was educated under the lead of Leonard Bernstein, Nicola Hansalik Samale, Gustav Kuhn, Wolfgang Sawallish, Carlo Maria Giulini e George Prêtre. Won the Young Concert Performer National Selection in 1988 and 1991 and debuted, 25 years old, with the Pomeriggi Musicali Orchestra of Milano in a concert broadcasted by the national TV. Cooperated with several orchestras both in Italy and abroad, including “Arturo Toscanini” of Parma, “Giuseppe Verdi” of Milano, and “Cracow Philarmonic”. In 2000, during a tournée in Japan with the Sofia National Opera, conducted “Turandot” and the first edition in Japan of “La Gioconda” with soprano Ghena Dimitrova in the presence of the Emperor and the Empress. His numerous conductions include: “Un ballo in maschera” with G. Dimitrova (2001), “Norma” with M. Dragoni (2001) and the direction by Pierluigi Pizzi, and “Trovatore” (2007) with the Puccini Festival Chorus.

Taped for Bongiovanni (Bologna), King Record (Tokyo), RCA Victor JVC (Tokyo). He currently teaches Orchestra Conduction at the L. Refice Music Academy in Frosinone. It is in the search for making instruments “sing” rather than “play” that form and content can be found. The singing is the first instrument we have; but beyond it there is an imagination of colours, forces and densities which guide our “going” towards a piece of music. The analysis of the score must abstract from the gesture, that is and remains a sort of a “signature” of the Orchestra Conductor. “Music should bring to life the phantoms that are in it”.

And wondered: why is it that whilst the great photographer makes black and white his distinctive sign, the painter does the same with colours, and both tell reality? Is it a mere stylistic choice? Light, water, good, life: these are presence. Dark, desert, evil, death: these are absence. The black and the white show to the eyes the eternal dualism between life and death. In the middle the existence flows with its infinite nuances of grey. Black and white recall the essence: the former is absorption of all colours, the latter their synthesis. The contain every colour, every vital presence, every lack. Patrizia Genovesi
