A World of Music – Collective Concert T.E.M.P.O.

T.E.M.P.O. World Orchestra presents “A World of Music”

The T.E.M.P.O. collective inaugurates its “World Orchestra” at the 2024 edition of Effetto Venezia, an ensemble composed of teachers from the four Livorno music schools that are part of the collective: Associazione Musicale e Culturale Ensemble Bacchelli, Chorus Accademia Musicale, Percorsi Musicali, and Istituto Musicale Del Corona.

The ensemble varies the number of its members within the same concert depending on the types of pieces and arrangements to be performed in order to take a real journey around the planet through some of its most significant musical languages.

The full ensemble consists of about 50 members, distributed among a classical ensemble of about 15 members composed of strings and winds (Ensemble Bacchelli), a choir of about 25 members (Ensemble Bacchelli Choir), a modern combo with bass, drums, ethnic percussion, electric and acoustic guitars, and piano (Percorsi Musicali and Chorus Accademia Musicale), solo voices with lyrical and modern style (Istituto Rodolfo del Corona).

In the middle, the possibility to combine and enrich each other the various sections mentioned in order to compose an extremely dynamic and varied show in which voices and musical instruments become expressions of cultures, feelings, everyday life, traditions, and territories.

Why “World”? Because the rich variety of classical, modern, and ethnic instruments combined with lyrical and modern voices allows to highlight or bring out colors and nuances in the pieces scheduled and composed or arranged by musicians like Leonard Bernstein and Harold Arlen (USA), Carlos Gardel and Georges Bizet (France), The Dubliners (Ireland), Quirino Mendoza Cortes (Mexico), Beatles (England), Morricone (Italy), Noa (Israel), etc.

T.E.M.P.O. – The “Table of Organized Professional Music Entities” was born during the Covid emergency on the initiative of Percorsi Musicali and brings together operators in the music sector with operational headquarters in the Livorno area: not individual professionals, but associations, companies, and organizations that carry out activities related to music in various forms. The collective has produced together with the Municipality of Livorno the musical format “Musicability: how music takes shape” visible exclusively on Livù; “Authoritatively: Livorno and its music authors” from Nardini to Mascagni, from Ciampi to Motta, a cultural event held over two days at the Ognissanti auditorium with an open rehearsal and concert. For the 2020/2021/2022/2023 editions, it participates in Effetto Venezia in collaboration with L.E.M and the Municipality of Livorno.
