Since 2007 , children and young people in Lucca schools, from nursery school to high school, have been able to enjoy a season of concerts and musical events dedicated to them and tailor-made for the various age groups . This is “Musica ragazzi” , an initiative promoted by the Associazione Musicale Lucchese and curated with passion and expertise by Professor Carla Nolledi .

An event born and conceived to introduce children and young people to listening to music (not only classical music) in a simple but not superficial way, to contribute to their personal and cultural growth, allowing the most sensitive institutes and teachers to go and make up for a serious lack of some grades of primary and secondary school, where music is not contemplated.

Thursday 10 April, 10 am – Boccherini Conservatory Auditorium The Italy of singer-songwriters, songs to remember and sing together GIULIO D'AGNELLO, guitar and vocals (middle and high school) There are those who argue that the lyrics of the great Italian singer-songwriters should be taught in school. Some songs have actually accompanied the education of entire generations with beautiful lyrics (even without the music) and can be considered part of Italian literature, in fact. Let's think of De Gregori, Paoli, Gaber, De Andrè, Battisti, Endrigo, Fossati: they wrote true, authentic poems! Edited by Giulio D'Agnello. MORE INFO

Music is art, it is science, it is a language that nourishes human intelligence.Listening to music is an experience that involves the totality of the person because it is an integral part and witness of the human story. Music is an immediate language par excellence that we somehow internalize. Musica Ragazzi wants to enhance it, beyond spontaneous pleasure, to stimulate musical memory and accompany the understanding of the complexity and depth of music.

The program includes musical moments that propose different ways of listening and active participation, meetings with the AML's guest musicians, original shows to learn about the great composers from Lucca such as Luigi Boccherini and Giacomo Puccini, the opportunity for the many school orchestras to perform for the public and make themselves known to the children and families of other institutes and also valuable interdisciplinary workshops.
