Around a tree
A wind instrument player with a story to improvise.
A tree with a story that wants to become music.
A widespread, itinerant project that brings musicians into dialogue with some of the most significant trees across the Italian peninsula. An evocative multispecies encounter between animal and vegetal life, between different breaths, this performance renews our relationship with nature, which increasingly calls on us to enter into dialogue with the needs we share.
Inspired by, and conceived as an ideal continuation of, one of Massimo Bartolini’s most iconic works, Ballad for a Tree (2003), supported by WeStart on the occasion of the project Due qui / To Hear for the Italian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale (2024), curated by Luca Cerizza, AROUND A TREE renews the relationship between listening and nature, bringing together some of the finest talents from the European music scene.
