Pour votre comité, cette nouvelle saison se voit comme une continuité. En effet, après les sommets atteints lors de notre dernière saison, tant au niveau musical qu’au niveau de la fréquentation, nous ne pouvions envisager présenter une nouvelle saison en demi-teinte. Le début de la Saison 2018-2019 est placé sous le signe de la musique baroque. La musique russe sera également à l’honneur tout au long de la saison, tant au niveau des compositeurs que des interprètes. Le tournant de l’année sera quant à lui consacré à la musique vocale ; musique sacrée durant la période de l’Avent et musique profane à la reprise de l’année. Ce concert constitue d’ailleurs une sorte de première pour la Société de musique puisqu’une version semi-scénique du Don Juan de Mozart est à l’honneur, interprété notamment par Le Don Juan du moment, ErWin Schrott.

As a post-socialist city, the development of Ohrid has unique characters in terms of landscape, economic dynamics, and functional dimensions. The study's aim is also achieved by analyzing the validity and applicability of the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) model with regard to the evolution of tourism development in Ohrid, specifically, and in other cities in general. The article emphasizes the connection between the city’s urban context and tourism development. The findings also indicate that Ohrid is currently in its Development stage and that its life cycle curve exhibits a double cycle sequence, meaning that Ohrid is attracting many visitors and has reached a state of Received: 11.05.2019 Accepted: 13.09.2019 Published: 15.12.2019 Published under the terms and conditions of an Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license.

[…] Pur non risultando completo nel suo assetto liturgico, il Requiem costituisce un’affascinante e consapevole fusione di stile sacro e teatrale, e manifesta una conoscenza ancor viva delle composizioni di Mayr per Santa Maria Maggiore e della pratica liturgico-musicale del primo Ottocento». Eleonora Buratto soprano Eleonora Buratto, mantovana, è tra i soprani lirici più acclamati del mondo. La sua carriera è iniziata nel 2009 cantando come Creusa in Demofoonte, diretta da Riccardo Muti al Festival di Salisburgo, Opèra Garnier e Ravenna Festival. Negli anni successivi è stata diretta dal Maestro Muti nel ruolo di Susanna nell’opera I Due Figaro di Mercadante, Norina in Don Pasquale, Amelia in Simon Boccanegra, Alice in Falstaff e Contessa d’Almaviva nelle Nozze di Figaro. Agli inizi del 2015 è stata Corinna alla Dutch National Opera di Amsterdam ne Il Viaggio a Reims, regia di Damiano Michieletto e direzione di Stefano Montanari, da allora la sua carriera internazionale si è ulteriormente sviluppata.

  • Intersections Between High-End Art and Finance in the Global City a Comparative Analysis
    FACULTEIT WETENSCHAPPEN Geography and Geomatics Master of Geography Intersections between high-end art and finance in the global city A comparative analysis Freke Caset Number of words: 29040 Academic year 2014 – 2015 Prof. dr. Ben Derudder, Master’s thesis submitted to Department of Geography acquire the degree of Master of Geography 1 PREFACE As a human geography student with a high affinity for the areas of globalization and urbanization, the choice to write a thesis within the field of the global city discourse was easily made. When browsing through possible subjects and approaches related to this topic, the perspective wherein the conventional way in which global cities have generally been approached (as key sites of capital transaction and accumulation) is combined with the role of these nodes as centers for the arts, seemed refreshing and welcome, given the scarce amount of similar empirical studies on a city-scale and the growing recognition of urban cultural policy frameworks based on the arts within global cities and cities aiming at global city status. Along the line, many people gave me inspiring ideas, encouragement and much needed practical advice. Therefore my gratitude goes out to professor Ben Derudder for all of the above reasons and for providing me with the highly inspiring book Arts, Culture and the Making of Global Cities by Kong et al. (2015). Similar words of thank go out to Lizzy for making the time to discuss some of my statistical queries, to Laura for the critical feedback and diverting company in between, to Jeroen and Nicolas for the comprehensive reviews and to my ever- helpful father.

  • EFFE Award Salon Booklet
    2 EFFE AWARDS SALON 2019 CONTENTS 1 Programme 7 EFFE Lifetime Achievement Awards 2019 8 Salon speakers 11 2 EFFE Laureates 15 3 EFA and its members 53 EFFE AWARDS SALON 2019 3 DEAR COLLEAGUES, DEAR FRIENDS Welcome to the EFFE Awards Salon 2019 at BOZAR. A special day is bringing the attention to the arts, artists and the role of festivals in offering artists the platform to develop their work. The European Festivals Association (EFA) is convinced about the importance of festivals, cities and decision makers on the local level and their interaction. Arts and the artists are the matrix of each festival. As is the city and its community. There is no community without the arts. The links between a festival and a city are strong. Cities and regions in Europe are natural partners for festivals (and for Europe) in their daily local work. At the EFFE Awards Salon, we are coming together: artists, festival makers, city representatives, European decision makers to express our readiness to act together, to increase joint steps and practical arrangements that enable arts, arts festivals, cultural activities as well as cities, and Europe, to do their respective jobs. It seems to us a unique composition of people here today and an opportunity for us to connect and empower our alliance to be meaningful, present and influential in the European story. Culture is no evidence, it is a work of every day. The EFFE Awards 2019-2020 will demonstrate the EFFE Jury’s recognition to a few, but in the end to all arts festivals committing themselves to Europe on the FestivalFinder.eu.

  • The Organ at the Nfm
    Welcome to the NFM! The National Forum of Music has been built on a foundation of passion and belief that it is worth setting the highest goals and trying to pursue them. I have a strong conviction that sharing the emotions and beauty that come with music can help us, as humans in the early 21st century, to answer questions about who we are. This is the purpose of our work as artists. We don’t make art for ourselves; we make it for you. The NFM is a space in the heart of Wrocław: a meeting point where people come together to feel, however briefly, like part of a community, and fill their leisure time with art. It makes me happy to see how this project has grown to become a catalyst for change in the artistic life of Wrocław. I am overjoyed that the NFM can host people with different interests, presenting a variety of music genres, visual arts and dance shows, and that the building’s interior can be used as a space for all the arts. Our concert hall has been created out of dreams and passions, and we wish to share these passions with others – so I invite you all to visit the NFM in Wrocław. Andrzej Kosendiak General Director of the National Forum of Music Ladies and gentlemen, Wrocław is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Poland. Its rich past mingles harmoniously with a modern and dynamically developing metropolis, encouraging visitors to discover its mysteries, and the welcoming nature of the city’s residents inspires encounters and long conversations.
