Marco Borghini, Stefano Strata Music Academy Director: "The MusicaVerde concerts represent an important moment for us because our students can show the work of an intense year of study. The musicians who will perform are the winners of the Masterclass scholarships that we hold at the Academy. Every year we choose the best student of each Masterclass who, in the following season, can perform in concert at the Teatro Verdi".
Milli Russo, musicologist and president of Accademia di Musica Stefano Strata: "With the concerts of MusicaVerde we intend to make music even more enjoyable and create a young audience. In this direction goes the concert of March 6, a real novelty of the third edition of MusicaVerde because it will be dedicated to middle school, and to play will be the very young of our Academy. It will be a concert made by teenagers for teenagers who today, for many reasons, have fewer and fewer opportunities to listen to live music".
Michele Galli, General Director of Fondazione Teatro di Pisa: "The project of the MusicaVerde Concerts was born in 2022 and its success was immediate. The Theatre strongly believes in this initiative that since then we present in the ministerial question and that contributes to raising the qualitative score of our demand and therefore the value and reputation of our Theatre".
Lorenzo Corti, musician and councillor Accademia di Musica Stefano Strata: "The Strata Academy is a treasure for the territory of Pisa and not only, in the absence of a real Conservatory of Music instead present in nearby Lucca and Livorno. The value of this treasure is demonstrated by the teachers chosen by the direction of the Academy, by the students who come here from all over Italy to perfect themselves and by the bright results obtained by many of them".
