This piece is for me a comfortable place.

It sounds like Christmas.
Negli stessi Fiumi Valentina Fin
Negli stessi fiumi is a musical project born from an artistic residency along the Brenta River, where Renaissance madrigal, contemporary composition, and improvisation meet in an original musical language. Led by the vocal and compositional research of Valentina Fin, the project reworks material by Monteverdi, Palestrina, and Maddalena Casulana through co-creative practices, weaving together polyphony, instruments, and poetic texts inspired by water and the river landscape. A musical journey in which tradition and contemporaneity flow together, transforming one another.
Suite Vicentina
Inspired by the book UNICHE! Le grandi donne vicentine della Storia by Antonio Di Lorenzo, the suite consists of 10 pieces, including original compositions and arrangements. Ten musicians, selected through an open call organized by the cultural association Bacan, contributed their musical and creative talents to the project.
The written portraits of these unknown or forgotten but remarkable women, ranging from ancient Roman times to the third millennium, highlight influential female figures on both local and international levels. Stories of microhistory or tied to popular culture served as sources of inspiration and were transformed into music. (Illustrations by Claudia Zonta)
