After its great success last year Cluster’s second Music Festival is devoted to music of our time. There’s a calendar of seven events open to the public (organized through four afternoon weekends. All this is through valuable collaborations with other important Italian cultural organizations: the Puglia Region, the International Robotics Festival of Pisa, Torre del Lago’s Puccini Festival, Lucca and Massa Carrara’s FAI delegation, ”Il Baluardo” choral group ” and the Cinema Circle of Lucca. This is without forgetting the commissioning of eighteen new compositions by Cluster members to be heard during this Festival. It’s all free admission thanks to the contribution of the Banca Del Monte di Lucca Foundation.

Saturday, October 20 (Oratorio S. Giuseppe – 5 pm) there’s a concert entitled “Crumb portrait” with Maria Elena Romanazzi, singer and Raffaella Ronchi, piano. The concert is organized in collaboration with the Puglia Region and includes famous pieces by George Crumb and Cluster members Francesco Cipriano, Andrea Benedetti and Girolamo Deraco.
