Can playing music together become a collective practice for a community?

Sinfonie Comuni

Giorgia Baccichetti
Emma Cocco

Music is a collective process, uniting places and people.   
With Sinfonie Comuni every citizen can contribute to bringing the urban landscape to life, collaborating in the creation of a large city orchestra.

The project strives to break down the barriers that separate the stage from the audience, making spectators the real protagonists of music and including every segment of the population, to open the doors of theatres to everyone. Music is therefore our means of fostering encounters and cultural exchanges, while giving a new perspective on theatre and orchestra.

Our aim is to bring music as much as possible into public spaces, through a play-installation that becomes an opportunity for everyone to come and play music together.  
No musical instruments or previous musical knowledge are needed, your body and your voice can work as instruments. You just need to participate and have fun!

Project 2 - String Figures

In the second Semester of MA in Eco-Social Design, student teams cooperate with external partners on “real world” projects. The partners were invited to contribute with a specific issue, challenge or topic, which served as starting points for the students to develop answers, solutions, but also to raise new questions. During the spring of 2024, eleven projects were developed, each one exploring a specific topic and with its own perspective. In collaboration with / partners: BASIS Vinschgau Venosta, Blufink, Comune di Bolzano Settore Donna, Comune di Stelvio, Climate Action South Tyrol, South Tyrol Music Festivals, COOLTour, Foundation Haydn, OfficineVispa, Politermica, Regreening Rentsh, Wiesl.
