PLAN
AND OBJECTIVES
The
Unda Maris musical association came into being in 1994 through
an initiative of maestro Giulio Arena, a lecturer at the
Vincenzo Bellini Conservatory in Palermo. Its objectives
include the spread of culture among the general public,
as well as higher training for the students of musical institutes
and for young musicians. Its partners and supporters include
personalities that in various ways operate in the sphere
of cultivated music.
For several years the intense activity of Unda Maris was
prevalently concerned with organising the Unda Maris international
piano competition. Now its ambition is to present an Academy
for Advanced Musical Studies, the fruit of collaboration
with the San Pietro church, offering in its structure and
in the choice of its teachers a quality level equal to that
of the most prestigious international academies and making
all possible efforts to create a training model taking into
account the geographical, historical, cultural and technological
coefficients that the present insistently demands.
Among the objectives of the Musical Academy there are the
following:
- to
promote music as an integral part of culture, bearing
in mind the evolution of its borders, in both geographical
and technological terms;
- at
the same time promoting growth of lay and religious musical
culture, in the awareness that these are two spheres that,
though they have traditionally been considered separate,
can instead coexist and develop in a single project;
- to
set alongside the traditional aesthetical and historical
approach other approaches linked to psychology, sociology,
ethnography, cultural anthropology, semiotics and computer
science;
-
to adopt music as a factor of individual and social growth
and as a prompting to creativeness;
- to
publish the results of its own experiences and to make
them available to society;
- to
favour concert activity both as a fundamental element
of teaching and training and as a service to the public;
- to
provide musical operators with further means of knowledge
and in-depth examination, in terms of both human and instrumental
resources.
The
Academy aims to achieve these objectives through a complex
and integrated system which together with the first-level
and advanced training courses includes:
-
master classes and special courses;
- musical
contests;
- seminars,
conferences and workshops;
-
activity of musical comparison and research through the
creation of a specialised journal for the spread of information;
-
creation of decentralised concert seasons in order geographically
to favour musical culture being taken to geographically
and socially disadvantaged areas;
- creation
of a series of seminars for setting going comparative
study able to highlight the structural, stylistic and
contextual elements common or analogous to different musical
cultures;
- creation
of a transversal service centre linking musical operators,
talented artists and institutions dealing with the promotion
of culture.
For
the attainment of these objectives, the academy makes use
of musicians, musicologists, composers and musical operators
of world fame.
The condition necessary for the pursuit of the aims listed
and for the affirmation of the institute as an international
cultural reference point is the indisputable quality of
the teaching staff and of all personalities that will be
involved in the activities.
For the realization of its institutional goals, the academy,
consistently with the national development plans for Higher
Artistic and Musical Training, will promote and activate
forms of cooperation with other academies, universities,
research centres, local, national and international bodies,
academic, cultural and economic institutions, public or
private, also in decentralized places.
Inside
the structure of the Academy there is the recording studio
of Unda Maris Edizioni, which is available for all needs
linked to the artistic activity of teachers and students.
