“LUCIANO BERIO” INTERNATIONAL COMPOSITION COMPETITION Rome, Italy
WFIMC Member since 2019
Founded in 2019 and oraanized by the Santa Cecilia National Academy Foundation the International Composition Competition is the expression of a wide partnership of orchestras and institutions combining their efforts to actively promote contemporary Art Music. The mission of this triennal competition is to promote not only contemporary music but also young composers through the production and diffusion of new pieces for symphonic orchestra. Michele dall’Ongaro, President-Superintendent of the Academy and among the Competition’s leading promotors, recounts how it came into being: “This is how we set it up: we chose Berio’s name as a virtual guarantor for the event’s quality, and not so much in order to label the competition as such, beyond my personal relations with the Maestro and the fact that the Santa Cecilia Academy makes its home at Largo Luciano Berio. More than a competition, it is actually a project, and it has absolutely innovative aspects: it has involved some of the country’s greatest music institutions, abandoning a possible ‛local’ dimension while in fact seeking to involve all the music organizations upon which Berio truly left his mark; it has involved a high- quality international jury, and above all one of the world’s most important publishers, Universal Edition[…]. And that’s not all: we will not limit ourselves to selecting a score, but the composer as a whole, from whom a new composition will be commissioned. […] It is a different commitment; we have chosen to believe in a collaboration among the great institutions towards a project that looks to young musicians, and therefore to the future.”
