ACADEMY ADMISSION OPEN FOR 2009/2010
PLAN
AND OBJECTIVES
The Unda
Maris musical association came into being in 1994 through an initiative
of maestro Giulio Arena, a lecturer at the Vincenzo Bellini Conservatory
in Palermo. Its objectives include the spread of culture among the general
public, as well as higher training for the students of musical institutes
and for young musicians. Its partners and supporters include personalities
that in various ways operate in the sphere of cultivated music.
For several years the intense activity of Unda Maris was prevalently concerned
with organising the Unda Maris international piano competition. Now its
ambition is to present an Academy for Advanced Musical Studies, the fruit
of collaboration with the San Pietro church, offering in its structure
and in the choice of its teachers a quality level equal to that of the
most prestigious international academies and making all possible efforts
to create a training model taking into account the geographical, historical,
cultural and technological coefficients that the present insistently demands.
Among the objectives of the Musical Academy there are the following:
- to promote
music as an integral part of culture, bearing in mind the evolution
of its borders, in both geographical and technological terms;
- at the same time
promoting growth of lay and religious musical culture, in the awareness
that these are two spheres that, though they have traditionally been
considered separate, can instead coexist and develop in a single project;
- to set
alongside the traditional aesthetical and historical approach other
approaches linked to psychology, sociology, ethnography, cultural anthropology,
semiotics and computer science;
- to adopt
music as a factor of individual and social growth and as a prompting
to creativeness;
- to publish
the results of its own experiences and to make them available to society;
- to favour
concert activity both as a fundamental element of teaching and training
and as a service to the public;
- to provide
musical operators with further means of knowledge and in-depth examination,
in terms of both human and instrumental resources.
The Academy aims to
achieve these objectives through a complex and integrated system which
together with the first-level and advanced training courses includes:
- master classes
and special courses;
- musical contests;
- seminars, conferences
and workshops;
- activity of musical
comparison and research through the creation of a specialised journal
for the spread of information;
- creation of decentralised
concert seasons in order geographically to favour musical culture being
taken to geographically and socially disadvantaged areas;
- creation of a series
of seminars for setting going comparative study able to highlight the
structural, stylistic and contextual elements common or analogous to
different musical cultures;
- creation of a transversal
service centre linking musical operators, talented artists and institutions
dealing with the promotion of culture.
For the attainment
of these objectives, the academy makes use of musicians, musicologists,
composers and musical operators of world fame.
The condition necessary for the pursuit of the aims listed and for the
affirmation of the institute as an international cultural reference point
is the indisputable quality of the teaching staff and of all personalities
that will be involved in the activities.
For the realization of its institutional goals, the academy, consistently
with the national development plans for Higher Artistic and Musical Training,
will promote and activate forms of cooperation with other academies, universities,
research centres, local, national and international bodies, academic,
cultural and economic institutions, public or private, also in decentralized
places.
Inside the structure
of the Academy there is the recording studio of Unda Maris Edizioni, which
is available for all needs linked to the artistic activity of teachers
and students.
