“Venice is a constant source of inspiration: its variability, its echoes and reflections, its silences, its flexibility and its desire for infinity, the dissolution of space and time: all this is music in itself 🌊🖤🌊.”
“Her classical training, combined with experimentation and the most innovative technologies, makes Caterina Barbieri a living bridge between eras, styles and sectors,” said president Pietrangelo Buttafuoco. He added: “Her appointment as director of the music department is a vote of confidence in the intelligence and genius of the new generations, true antennae of the future.”
Founded in 1895, the Venice Biennale is one of the most prestigious cult events in the world: art enthusiasts flock here from all over the world, curious to hear what creators from seventy countries have to say in the fields of fine arts, music, film, theater, architecture and dance.
