  • Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue De La Loi 170 1000 Brussels
    Mr Josep Borrell Vice-President of the European Commission High Representative of the Union for the CFSP Rue de la Loi 170 1000 Brussels Brussels, 16th April 2021 Dear Mr. High Representative; Mr Vice-President of the Commission: A delegation from the illegitimate National Assembly of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which emerged from the electoral farce organised on 6th December 2020 by the regime of Nicolás Maduro, recently paid a visit to Brussels and was officially received by the institution you lead. According to a statement you made on behalf of the European Union on 6th December, this spurious process took place in the absence of electoral conditions that could have guaranteed its credibility, without any respect for political pluralism, and in an atmosphere of persecution and disqualification of democratic leaders whose legitimate rights were curtailed. Your statement concludes that such circumstances could not consider this process credible, inclusive, and transparent and therefore the results did not represent the will of the Venezuelan people. That initial statement was confirmed on 6 January of this year by a new declaration, in similar terms to those expressed on 6 December, and by the conclusions of the Foreign Affairs Council of 25 January. These reiterated the lack of recognition of the electoral process and regretted the behaviour of the authorities of the Maduro regime, whose actions are preventing a solution to the serious crisis in Venezuela. We were surprised and gravely concerned to learn that on 14th April, at your request, senior officials of the European External Action Service received the aforementioned delegation, comprising Iris Varela, Pedro Carreño and Desirée Santos Amaral, at the EEAS headquarters.

    WRITING ABOUT SHOSTAKOVICH Edinburgh International Festival 1962 Edinburgh Festival 1962 working cover design ay after day, the small, drab figure in the dark suit hunched forward in the front row of the gallery listening tensely. Sometimes he tapped his fingers nervously against his cheek; occasionally he nodded Dhis head rhythmically in time with the music. In the whole of his productive career, remarked Soviet Composer Dmitry Shostakovich, he had “never heard so many of my works performed in so short a period.” Time Music: The Two Dmitrys; September 14, 1962 In 1962 Shostakovich was invited to attend the Edinburgh Festival, Scotland’s annual arts festival and Europe’s largest and most prestigious. An important precursor to this invitation had been the outstanding British premiere in 1960 of the First Cello Concerto – which to an extent had helped focus the British public’s attention on Shostakovich’s evolving repertoire. Week one of the Festival saw performances of the First, Third and Fifth String Quartets; the Cello Concerto and the song-cycle Satires with Galina Vishnevskaya and Rostropovich. 31 DSCH JOURNAL No. 37 – July 2012 Edinburgh International Festival 1962 Rostropovich and Vishnevskaya in Edinburgh Week two heralded performances of the Preludes & Fugues for Piano, arias from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, the Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Symphonies, the Third, Fourth, Seventh and Eighth String Quartets and Shostakovich’s orches- tration of Musorgsky’s Khovanschina. Finally in week three the Fourth, Tenth and Twelfth Symphonies were per- formed along with the Violin Concerto (No. 1), the Suite from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, the Three Fantastic Dances, the Cello Sonata and From Jewish Folk Poetry.

  • European Parliament Mid-Term Election: What Impact on Migration Policy?
    www.epc.eu 16 March 2017 01/12/2009 European Parliament mid-term election: what impact on migration policy? Marco Funk As the dust settles from the European Parliament’s (EP) mid-term election held on 17 January 2017, migration continues to top the EU’s agenda. The election of Antonio Tajani to replace Martin Schulz as president of the EP brought the institution under the leadership of the European People’s Party (EPP) after a power-sharing agreement with the socialist S&D was cancelled and replaced by a last-minute deal with the liberal ALDE group. A closer look at Tajani’s election and associated reshuffle of key internal positions suggests little change in the EP’s course on migration in the short term. However, upcoming developments may significantly change Parliament dynamics in the longer term. New president, different style Antonio Tajani is considered by many to be a less political, less activist president compared to Martin Schulz. The former is also apparently less willing to insist on a prominent role for the EP than the latter. Furthermore, Tajani shares the same conservative political affiliation as the heads of the European Commission and European Council, which makes ideological confrontations with Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk even less likely than under Schulz, who had few disagreements with either. While Schulz already maintained good relations with Juncker and closely coordinated responses to the large influx of refugees in 2015/2016, Tajani is even better placed to cooperate effectively due to his previous Commission experience and ideological alignment. Despite Tajani’s association with Italy’s populist conservative leader Silvio Berlusconi, he has adopted a more mainstream conservative political identity, which ultimately won him the EPP’s support.

Tis paper focuses on the interplay between the political regime, musical life in Bulgaria, and the status of Bulgarian composers. Many books, articles, conferences and PhDs have been presented recently in the feld of cultural studies, promoting a multidisciplinary approach in several felds. A new approach tothis dynamic period would clarify the overall development of Bulgarian musical culture in the twentieth century. Keywords: music, political aspects, Bulgaria, history of the twentieth century, Bulgarian composers Introduction This article focuses on the interplay between the political regime, musical life in Bulgaria and the status of Bulgarian composers between 1944 and 1989. My interest in the history and problems of Bulgarian composers and specifically in the politicization of music during the period of totalitarian rule in Bulgaria (1944–1989) stems from the early days of my musical career and my childhood. Music written by Bulgarian composers has significantly influenced me over the period of my formal education.

    EZIO BOSSO Direttore stabile e Artistico della StradivariFestival Chamber Orchestra, Sony Classical International Artist dal 2016, a Febbraio 2018 è stato nominato Steinway Artist. Ezio Bosso è inoltre Testimone e Ambasciatore internazionale dell’Associazione Mozart14, eredità ufficiale dei principi sociali ed educativi del Maestro Claudio Abbado, diretta con dedizione dalla figlia Alessandra: una conferma dell’impegno didattico e sociale del maestro Bosso, che dunque si sviluppa non solo nella sua intensa attività di divulgazione, sempre ribadita anche nell’attività concertistica, nell’impegno costante ad aprire, dove possibile, tutte le prove orchestrali o cameristiche - primo direttore a farlo - e nelle sue lezioni aperte a tutti, ma anche nell’attività svolta con Opera Pia Barolo e Medicina a Misura di Donna a Torino. Ezio Bosso è stato il testimone ufficiale della Festa Europea Della Musica per il 2018 e l’unico italiano invitato al Parlamento Europeo per una storica riflessione sullo stato della cultura europea. Direttore d’orchestra e compositore, Ezio Bosso ha ricominciato una più intensa attività concertistica solo dalla seconda metà del 2015. Un percorso in crescendo che nel ’16, dopo aver portato oltre 100.000 spettatori nei migliori teatri con il suo recital per solo pianoforte considerata ormai la tournée di musica classica più importante della storia italiana, lo vede oggi reduce da una lunga serie di trionfi alla testa di alcune delle migliori orchestre italiane e internazionali nella riconquistata veste di direttore d’orchestra,
